{"title":"Fusion Wound Nickel","description":"\u003cp\u003eFusion Wound is built in an extra layer, and that layer is what you hear. A 92\/8 phosphor bronze under-wrap is bonded to the core before the nickel-plated steel outer wrap goes on, so there is a second metal sitting between the core and the surface. A string built that way vibrates and damps differently from one with a single wrap, which is why a Fusion Wound set does not sound like a Power Wound set in the same gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get is a tighter, more focused voice: a firmer low end with less bloom, clearer highs, and more separation between notes. Power Wound Nickel is the warmer and punchier of the two. Neither is an upgrade on the other — they are two different strings, and which one is right depends on whether you want the bass to sit inside a mix or push out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe low end is where the difference shows most, which is why five and six-string players tend to end up here.

Five-string players start at .045–.125, with .045–.130 and .050–.130 for a heavier, tighter low B. Six-string sets run .030–.120 and .030–.125.
