A new qualitative stringlike picture for mesons is proposed which leads to a simple and intuitively clear generalization of linear radial Regge trajectories to the case of massive quarks. The obtained universal relation is successfully tested in the sector of unflavored vector mesons, where many radial excitations are known. Some new predictions are given. Our results suggest that the quark masses can be easily estimated from the spectra of radially excited mesons.

$\lambda$, $\rho$, and $\sigma$ Regge trajectories for the hexaquark ${(\bar{u}(cc))(b(\bar{b}\bar{b}))}$ in the triquark-antitriquark picture
Derives λ, ρ1, ρ2, σ1, and σ2 Regge trajectories for the hexaquark (ū(cc))(b(b̄b̄)) in the triquark-antitriquark picture, showing substructure is required for most series and giving rough mass estimates for excited states.
