About D'Addario - A Brief History The roots of D'Addario's deep involvement in the design, manufacture and distribution of musical instrument strings date back to the late 1600s. The D'Addario family's involvement in the musical instrument string business stretches back nine generations, across the Atlantic ocean, to the small town of Salle in the Italian province of Pescara. This was sheep grazing country, and the intestines of the animals were used to manufacture strings for lutes, guitars, harps and assorted other musical instruments. The D'Addario family has been producing gut strings since this time. But the family manufacturing remained in Italy until 1905, when Charles D'Addario immigrated to America and decided he would go into business importing the family's strings for sale in the US. He continued this enterprise through the conclusion of the first World War, at which time he set up a small shop in Long Island City, NY and began to manufacture strings in America.

Some basses are strung through the body, and the distances from the bridge to where the ballend locks in or the distance from the nut to the pegs are not standard on all guitars. The best way to figure out the correct strings for sure is to: 1) Assuming your bass has strings on it, mark the lowest pitched string (while on your bass) at the nut with a marker. 2) Remove the string. 3) Measure the distance from the inner edge of the ball end to the mark you just made. 4 ) Record this length, and refer to the following chart: Length String Scale Required Up to 32 inches DAddario Short 32 to 34 inches DAddario Medium 34 to 36 inches DAddario Long 36 to 38 inches DAddario Super Long AmericanMusical.com is an authorized dealer of DAddario products.
