Detail 01
Low B taper: 2 1/8 inches from the ball end
The low B uses a taper intended to improve its intonation.

Independent shopping perspective
For an extra-scale six-string bass with a bridge that does not route strings through the body, this stainless-steel flatwound set includes a low B tapered 2 1/8 inches from its ball end. La Bella uses that taper to support low-B intonation. The crucial buying check is bridge routing: the set is expressly unsuitable for through-body designs, so confirm the string path before fitting a new set.
