Which strings are you using? It seems to be hard to find strings thick and long enough.

Fender Bass VI strings?

Well I should have asked where Bassus gets his strings cause it's not easy to find them here. The place where I bought it recommended me regular baritone strings which are too short and thin.

I might remember incorrectly but I think Fender has discontinued their VI strings. They're not to be found in the eu anyway. Labella makes a set but they're expensive. Their Hellcat vi strings are a lot cheaper and it would be nice to know if they fit. So I'm kinda looking for options.

Ah, I didn't take into account availability. Also, D'Addario has a few sets of Bass VI strings, their XL155 - XL157.
Once again, I have no clue as to availability in your region. I don't know why I keep running my mouth.

No, no.. it's good to hear about options. I googled this quite a bit after I bought the gretsch but most owners seem to tune it to A or B and I want mine in bass vi tuning so I think the strings should have .095 gauge. I'll order from the US if I have no other option.

just sold this to my buddy down in tx. i am going to miss her.

Goode Gawd, she is HOT!

(But you are keeping a Maton, so I guess it's alright.)

Mine's tuned actually to C-drop , so that's considerably lower than even the Bass VI. It needs a tad lighter touch to playing than what I'm used to, or out of tune it dives, but, You know, at the moment it works for me a-okay. My bass playing style has come for long now mostly in chords with dirts, distortions and fuzz so I have lots of old bass string set around.

Still rocking the original set. Nowadays, I've been really lazy changing the strings, but, compared to yesteryears, I don't play that many hours a day anyhow. I've got a LaBella baritone set waiting - AND leftovers from the light D'Addario 8-string set and Hamer 12-string sets, which MIGHT work better for the low end. I'll tell You guys if I broke the saddle - like with my Hamer Chaparal-12 - or not.

Bursts much?

Its a 1970s Yamaha SA-60. Only selling it cause i bought that supro head laying on the floor behind it. I want to try and find another one like it one day. I dont think ill ever part with the Maton. I also never realized that i had so many bursts! haha. The only ones that arent are my Gibson DC and that off white bass in the background.
