{"title":"Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Bass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are acoustic bass guitar strings, not electric bass strings. An acoustic bass has no pickup driving an amp, so the string has to move the top of the instrument on its own. A 92\/8 phosphor bronze wrap does that better than nickel or steel: it is louder unamplified, warmer through the mids, and it keeps the low end from disappearing into the body of the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you put electric bass strings on an acoustic bass it will sound quiet and dull. This is the set that fixes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sets are standard long scale. .045–.105 is the four-string and .045–.125 the five-string, which adds a low B.
