Discover the legendary tone that defined the sound of the electric bass in the 1950s and 60s. These stainless steel flat wound strings are the choice of professional bassists worldwide seeking that true, authentic vintage sound. If you crave a deep, warm, and resonant tone with an incredibly smooth feel, you've just found what you're looking for. These are the strings that were there at the birth of modern music and are still considered the industry standard today.

Each string is meticulously hand-wound with a stainless steel ribbon wire, ensuring not only long life but also a consistent and balanced sound across the entire fretboard. This specific model was designed for short-scale basses (30.5 inches) that require the strings to be strung through the body of the instrument. With a total length of 39 inches from the ball-end to the end of the string, they are the perfect choice for instruments like the Hofner "Beatle" basses and other models with a similar construction or a trapeze tailpiece.

These strings will give you that classic, thumping bass tone you know from countless recordings. Their smooth surface is gentle on your fingers and frets, and it minimizes unwanted noise from hand movement. They are made in the USA using the highest quality American materials and are packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), which protects them from tarnishing and ensures they arrive perfectly fresh.
