    I just checked my 2 string bass. It's a fretless 28" scale. I just bought the cheapest strings the shop had. Works fine.

    ok thanks for the info Buddy

    30" is about the length for a short-scale bass so 32" will work.

    Just make sure you buy strings appropriate for your scale length and you'll be good to go.
