Medium Scale Bass Guitar Strings

A medium-scale bass is a great compromise between short-scale and long-scale — small enough for most people to play without difficulty yet big enough to give your music some punch on the mids and highs. Still, you’ll need the right bass strings to get the most out of it. Long-scale strings will have too much waste, while short-scale strings might not be long enough to reach the tuning pegs. Some players also prefer a higher string tension on their medium-scale bass guitars, though there is no hard-and-fast rule.

Here you’ll find strings specially made to fit your medium-scale bass, which is considered any bass with a scale length from 30 to 33 inches. (A 32” scale bass is considered the standard for medium scale.) Strings and Beyond carries leading bass string manufacturers known for making great strings regardless of your bass size. From the legendary D’Addario XL Nickel Wound Bass Strings to the La Bella Depp Talkin’ Bass series, we have a set of strings that will give you the right mix of growl and bite.
