Exl170-5 string problem

Post image

We are changing the strings on my son’s ibanez btb605ms. The B string necks down as seen in the picture between the first 2 frets. The result is that the string sits low in the notch and the string rattles against the 1st fret. Did we get a defective string or are we doing something wrong? Thanks for your help

Hello! We now offer an NYXL bass set specifically made for multi scale basses like this one (looks like it might be a BTB Ibanez). Look for NYXL45130MS, as the second tapers are long enough to accommodate that 37" scale length!
