Do the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Strings (45-130) have a tapered B string, or are all the strings non-tapered at the bridge end?

The Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Strings (45-130) do not have a tapered B string; all the strings in this set are non-tapered at the bridge end.

Are the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Strings (45-130) compatible with a 35" scale bass, or are they optimized for standard 34" scale lengths?

Yes, the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Strings (45-130) can be used on a 35" scale bass, but they are primarily designed for standard 34" scale basses. On a 35" scale, the winding may be slightly short at the tuning post, so check your specific bass for compatibility before installing.

Are the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Strings (45-130) suitable for a 35" scale bass, or will I have issues with string length or tension?

Yes, the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Bass Strings (45-130) are suitable for most 35" scale basses. These strings have a winding length of about 37.25 inches, which is long enough for 35" scale instruments. You should not have issues with string length or tension when using them on your bass.

Is there a noticeable difference in tone or longevity between the Elixir 16002 Acoustic NanoWeb Phosphor Bronze Extra Light strings and the 16027 Custom Light version, especially when used on a smaller-bodied acoustic guitar?

The Elixir 16002 (Extra Light) and 16027 (Custom Light) Acoustic NanoWeb Phosphor Bronze strings mainly differ in gauge. Extra Light strings (16002) are thinner and easier to play, making them a good fit for smaller-bodied guitars and fingerstyle, but they may sound a bit brighter and have slightly less volume and sustain. Custom Light strings (16027) are a bit thicker, offering a fuller tone and more projection, but with a little more tension. Both sets use the same NanoWeb coating, so their longevity and smooth feel are very similar. Your choice depends on whether you prefer easier playability (Extra Light) or a fuller sound (Custom Light). For reference, the Regular Slinky 5-String Nickel Wound Electric Bass Strings (45-130 Gauge) are designed for electric bass and are not related to acoustic guitar strings.
