My #1 choice for years now on my "shorties"
I own 2 Ibanez Mikros, a Gretsch Electromatic, a Mitchell MB 100, and 2 Ibanez TMB 30's, all short scale basses and these are the only strings I use on every one. Most of the places my bands play are taverns, VFW's, weddings and other smaller venues. My shorties are plenty enough bass for these type places especially since I use a 300 watt Peavey amp for both big and small venues and both my shorties and my full size Ibanez and Fender basses for bigger places and outdoor gigs. Great strings on both my short scale and full length basses of which I use the exact same gauge strings. I've tried various other strings but always come back to these for both size basses.
Pretty Good Strings
These are good strings that are deserving of a good rating, they feel natural and work as intended.
Buy Long Scale
I have a Fender Mustang Bass
The E String Taper started in the middle of First Fret
Get a Medium or Long Scale string then cut to fit
