Hi Satan.

Power Slinkys are a heavy-guage string! You will most likely need to have your bridge set up by a local luthier. The luthier will also adjust the neck appropriately.

Here is a helpful link :Music Man Basses FAQ

Thanks for joining the forum, Satan. You'll have a "hell" of a time...

Pun intended.
