Our take on the Foundations Nickel 4-String Bass Strings – 45–105 (FN45105L Medium Light)

Foundations Nickel FN45105L is a medium-light four-string bass set in .045–.105, made in the USA for standard long-scale basses around 34 inches. It is built to be brighter and more flexible than the brand's Power Wound sets, with a crisper top end and easier bending under the fretting hand. The .105 E string runs about 37 inches of usable winding, slightly shorter than the other strings. It suits players who want a lively, comfortable set for rock, funk and general playing rather than a stiff, dark flatwound feel.
