So I love my 51 p bass reissue and have played it a ton sense i got it 2 weeks ago. The whole time i was also waiting for my d'dario chromes to arrive and two days ago they did. I dropped of my bass to get setup and what not and two hours later i get a email saying that the regular long scale bass stings don't fit!

I under stand the short scale, long scale, extra long scale thing but i did not expect this bass to require extra long scale string. I wasn't warned any way. So do you other '51 owners have the same problem? and does it have something to do with the strings through body?

Yep. I bought Labella Tapewound strings from Carvin,
they are longer and fit well on my '51RI when stringing thought the body.
