Also have these strings on 34” scale music man bass and 34” scale G&L tribute JB2. I also use the 5 string set (same pack plus a low B). On my 35” scale Lakland Skyline 55-02. These are my go to strings **Q: Will these fit a squier miniature p bass? the scale is 28.6”.** A: I’m sure it would but you will have to trim them at least about an inch and a half above the winding unit of your tuning peg and hopefully it fits well enough into the hole in the middle than Wray it around and string it like a normal bass guitar ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 March 2017* my strings ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Bass Strings! *by on Reviewed in the United States 4 April 2026* Professional bassist, have played lots of string brands over the years - have been using various DR strings for 5 years now. These strings are great feeling, sound good on several of my P-basses. String tension is a bit looser than you would expect from a round core string - real fun for slapping. Have used these for several month long runs of Nat'l Theater Musical Tours (8 shows/week, doubling on ekec and double bass). Have not had to change strings halfway through, maintained a decent snap/brightness, etc. They do start to discolor if left unplanned for a month or two (I wipe down my strings after playing). Really like the light and med gauge, Bravo DR! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Geniales *by on Reviewed in Spain 20 March 2025* Muy cómodas en los dedos y muy bien sonido. Magníficas. ## Frequently Bought Together - DR Strings PURE BLUES Bass Guitar Strings (PB5-45) - DR Strings HI-BEAMS - Stainless Steel 5-String Bass Guitar Strings, 45-125, Round Core - DR Strings FAT-BEAM Bass Guitar Strings (FB5-130) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/58386157-dr-strings-pb545-45-125-medium-set-handmade-pure-blues](https://www.desertcart.at/products/58386157-dr-strings-pb545-45-125-medium-set-handmade-pure-blues) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
