ThomastikIN346 Superalloy 6-String Bass Long Scale Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Long-scale six-string bass set from Thomastik. For players running a low B and high C who want a matched set rather than piecing gauges together.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Six-string bass players needing a full factory-matched set
- Long-scale instruments, 34 inch and similar
- Replacing a broken string on a six-string without mixing brands
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Four- and five-string players — wrong string count
- Short-scale basses; the winding length will not sit right
- Anyone wanting flatwounds — this is not the flatwound set
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Long scale
Cut for roughly 34 inch scale. Silk wrap and taper land where a long-scale nut and bridge expect them.
Detail 03
Superalloy
A roundwound alloy set, so expect bright attack and finger noise compared to a flatwound.
Detail 04
Price per set
A single set costs more than typical bass strings. Longer life between changes is the trade you are making.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your scale length before ordering — long scale only
- 02One set, no extra strings or tools included
- 03Check your tuner post and bridge accept the ball ends and taper
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my 35 inch scale six-string?
Check the string length against your instrument. Long-scale sets are cut around 34 inch; a 35 inch bass may run short at the tuner post, especially on the low B.
02Are these roundwound or flatwound?
Roundwound. If you want the smooth, thumpy flatwound feel, look at the Thomastik Jazz Flatwound line instead.
03Do I need to adjust my bass after installing?
Likely yes. Any string change alters tension, so check intonation and relief afterward and adjust the truss rod and saddles as needed.
04Is this a full set or a single string?
A full six-string set.
