Can I use long scale strings and not worry about any "floppy strings"? any info/experiences help! ~Taylor adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2931 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - 11:46 pm:    I use 45-105 DR Fat Beams, the Marcus Miller set, on my Spoiler. Regular long scales, and not sloppy at all. And they definitely put out more lows than LowRiders or HiBeams. I remember having d'Addarios in the same gauges, no floppiness whatsoever. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1180 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - 11:50 pm:    Scale of the strings won't affect floppiness. Only the gauge and construction will. I use long scale, light gauge DR Sunbeams regularly on my SI shorty and they feel great!
