Hi Bassment73....My bridge is a 'metal craft m'. The through-body string set may work for me if the angle over the saddle is not too abrupt. I'll have to contact La bella and see if it is possible. Thanks for the help. My bridge can also be top-mounted but the G string is too close to the nut for a top-mount set. Has anyone used any Ernie Ball flatwounds on their cort basses?

I've used standard long scale Fender flatwounds on a 2012 USA standard P bass that was strung thru body (and that was fine). However I probably wouldn't go above 45-105 gauge for this because of thicker strings being able to make that break angle ok.
 
Soooo many strings…

My SS'1s paint just chipped out of nowhere from standing in its stand in my bedroom.
Tempature changes?

Judging by where it has chipped, I'd say probably yes. Temperature and humidity changes, caused by enough movement in the neck/body-wings join area to pull enough on the lacquer to create a crack, then flake. I've had this happen before with a clear lacquer instrument - though this doesn't look as bad as when there is coloured paint involved as well.

Did some cleaning and polishing, and put new strings on - had some problems to get the B-string on. Sounds much better. the pre-owner replaced the preamp yo Bartolini 2-band. Soapbars = big thunder 🤘 View attachment 23964

a tapered B string is recommended..if you use .130 (or stronger)…to my experience. Furthermore, a tapered B-string sounds more ‚defined‘..😊
