## Questions & Answers

**Q: I did a search for short scale black beauties and the bkb5-45 string came up.  i don't see anything that says short scale though.  thoughts?**
A: These are not short scale bass strings. These have a scale length of 37 3/4". I do not believe DR makes Black Beauties in Short Scale.

**Q: do these strings help with frett clicking noise? Even with a light touch some of my strings click when they contact a frett. Thanks**
A: That's almost more of a setup question than a string question. I *think* the coating might moderate any contact noise with the frets. I play rather lightly; my setup is moderately low, and the pickups are not right up to the strings - maybe 3/16"-4/16". I can hammer on notes without noticing any click. That's with my instrument and technique, though. Your results may vary.

**Q: Long Scale ??**
A: I put them on my standard length 5-string and clipped off about 4-6" after fully wound. hope that helps

**Q: What is the difference between the regular black beauties and the "limited edition" strings?**
A: They are $1.47 less, and you get to pay $26.99 for shipping. The strings are the same.
