Who Should Choose These Strings & Who Might Look Elsewhere

These strings are ideal for bassists playing jazz, blues, folk, or any genre where a warm, deep, vintage tone and smooth feel are desired. They are excellent for both fretted and fretless basses, especially those needing a sound reminiscent of an upright bass or traditional flatwounds.

If you require strings for a short-scale bass, ensure compatibility as these are specifically gauged for long scales up to 36 inches.
