would like to see black beauty flat wound short scale???

That would be amazing! We have offered Black Beauty Round Wounds for Short Scale before. We are waiting for more to be manufactured but do not have a definite ETA. Coated Flats would be very very difficult to make. Flats are polished smooth after the flat ribbon wire is wound. Unfortunately if they were coated they would not be able to be polished so will not be nearly as sooth as a traditional flatwound. Maybe look at Black Nylon Tapewounds if you would like a black flat string. Jason FretNation

Does this have these 4 strings: 45, 65, 85, 105?

Yes, this is the standard guage .45, .65, .85, .105 (5 string set has a .125 B string, 6 string set has a .35 for the high C string as well as the .125 low B). Hope I've helped

Will this fit Fender mustang?

These will fit any standard 34" or 35" scale 4 string electric bass. Measure from bridge to nut to find out the scale length of your instrument.

Does the black come off on your fingers

The coating wears off eventually, but my uncontested strings leave way more black on my fingers than these do.
