Are these for short or long scale bass guitar ?

Long scale. Do a search for short scale strings.

Does the coating dampen the effects of pinch harmonics? I use harmonics a lot and don't want to lessen that ability.

Not at all. The coating is sorta like when aluminum is anodized. Not like other strings with actual coatings on them. I used them on my Roscoe 5 for several years and now on my Spector NS2 for the last 5 years. DR makes the best strings. The feel of these is very similar to the Sunbeams.

Have you actually ever played a guitar? How can you sell such a nasty product? How can you sleep at night?

I play the bass, I've tried a different set of DR coated strings. They're not my thing, but other players want the benefits that coating provides them. Different strokes Kirin. Check out some of the non-coated strings I do carry. Thanks.

Excelente escolha

Cordas de altíssima qualidade, bonitas na cor preta. Som brilhante nos agudos e médios. Chegou rápido.

che corde!

ottime, montate da oltre un mese, hanno già tenuto qualche concerto e dopo un primo assestamento, tengono bene la brillantezza tipica delle corde nuove, senza essere troppo squillanti. Costano un po' di più mane vale davvero la pena.

No blisters!

I haven't played my bass in a while so i decided to get some new strings for it and went with these. I am blown away by these! They are the first bass strings I have ever played that don't give me blisters. I play guitar a lot so my fret hand is well worn with calluses but my plucking/picking hand is not. I played for almost 2 hours with these strings and no blisters! They sound great too with a nice punchy tone. I will buy these again!

These prices are bull shit

Amazon Australia stops us from getting fair prices from the US store and the product range is pathetic. DEFINATILY NOT RECOMENDED.
