- Will these fit my bass?
- They are 47.2 inches (1200 mm) long with holed ball ends, which suits most standard long-scale 4-string basses. Check your bass's scale length and bridge type before buying.
- How does extra light tension feel?
- The .045-.100 gauge is on the light side, so bends and slaps are easier and finger fatigue is lower. Expect slightly less volume and low-end weight than a heavier set.
- What tone do these strings give?
- The hex core and nickel winding produce a bright, articulate tone with strong upper harmonics. That suits rock, funk and pop; players wanting a warm, thumpy sound may prefer flatwounds.
- Are they coated or long-life strings?
- No. They are plain nickel-wound strings with anti-corrosion treatment, so they will lose brightness sooner than coated sets. Players who want longer string life should look at coated options.
- What is in the set?
- Four strings, one each for E, A, D and G, gauged .045, .065, .080 and .100. Each has a holed ball end for installation.
- How do they compare with round-core strings?
- The hex core makes them feel slightly stiffer and sound brighter and more focused than round-core strings. Some players find hex-core sets hold tuning better; others prefer the softer feel of round core.
