- Will these fit my 34-inch scale bass?
- Yes. They are long-scale strings, which covers the common 34-inch scale. Check your bass if it is 35 inches or more, since extra-long sets are the safer fit.
- How do these compare with a standard 45-105 set?
- The low E is .100 instead of .105, so tension is a little lower and the feel is lighter. That makes bends and fast lines easier but gives less resistance for heavy picking.
- Are these flatwound or roundwound?
- They are roundwound nickel over a round core. Expect a bright attack that mellows with playing, not the thump of flatwounds.
- What is in the box?
- One set of four strings: .045, .065, .080 and .100. No extras are included.
- When is the best time to buy?
- At $29.99 at Musician's Friend as of November 7, 2026, the set is at the top of its recent range. Watch for holiday sales or multi-set bundles to bring the per-set cost down.
- Do these work for drop D or lower tunings?
- They can, but the light .100 low string will feel loose when dropped. Players who tune down often prefer a heavier set.
