Q: The g string unwound after only two months of sparse use. the last strings i had lasted for two years. could i get a replacement g string?

April - I am sorry to hear about your trouble. I have had the first set of these tapewounds on my Precision Bass for about 8 months and I play most every day (not that well - but I try) but I have not had problems with loose strings. I am wondering if there is something wrong with your G-string tuning key or perhaps the gears the tuning key connects with. Even on 6-string guitars I have never heard of your guitar's problem. It might not be the answer you want to hear but I do not think it is possible to buy only 1 string - especially these tapewounds (they are not very common). The first thing I would do is check to see if your bass is a long scale or short scale guitar - maybe you got the wrong strings given your instrument (I got short-scale strings for my P-Bass - go to an internet browser and type in your bass make as well as scale (I would type "Precision Bass + scale length" for my guitar). Buy a new set of tapewound wounds (all 4) and take your bass into a shop to have a tech look at your guitar. Ask them to not only look at that G string key and gears but to look at the whole guitar as well as to replace the strings and do a setup. They will check the intonation for you as well. This will cost you, I know, but you want to get your bass sounding best it can which will make you want to play it more. Incidentally - when I have work done on my bass I stay away from large stores but go to smaller independent music shops. I have had much better luck with owner-occupied music shops when it comes to instrument repair than taking it to larger stores which focus more on volume. Good Luck April!

Q: Can i put these on an acoustic bass?

I use them on a Guild B30 acoustic bass guitar. Acoustically, they're not as loud as bronze round-wound strings, but if you're not playing unplugged and volume isn't an issue and you're not a fan of the twang, these are a nice mellow alternative.

Q: I have bass with a measurement of 39 1/2” from ball end to tuner on low E string. What length has a low E length taper that will work

The scale length is determined by the length of the string from saddle to nut. That is the measurement you need to determine the scale length you need. The most common scale for an electric bass is 34” from saddle to nut, which is called "long scale". "Extra long scale" is considered anything longer than 34”. There is also "medium scale", which is 30"-33”, and "short scale", which is 30” or less. The advantage of the ETB92 strings are, despite being called "long scale", they can comfortably handle a bass scale up to 36 1/4".
