Strings Fit for Any Bass
The sound, the feel, the groove — you can tell when you find the right strings. It doesn’t matter if you play four, five, six, or more strings on your bass guitar, choosing high-quality strings that feel good and match your style can take your playing experience to the next level.
Material Options
The material of the strings will affect the sound, tone and feel as you play, so keep those factors in mind when choosing what you want to play. S.I.T. Strings carries bass strings made from two primary materials:
- Nickel — nickel strings have a warmer, more balanced tone with a softer feel.
- Stainless steel — stainless steel strings produce a crisp, brighter sound and have a more textured feel.
Choosing Your String Type
Along with string material, the type of your string can dramatically affect your sound and playing experience.
- Power Wound strings made with nickel wire provide crisp highs, a low, punchy tone and are an all-around performer for many types of music.
- Power Steel strings made with stainless wire are designed for durability, providing a consistent, bright tone for gig after gig.
- Foundations bass strings – available in both nickel and stainless steel – provide a bright, punchy sound with great feel. Made with smaller core wire, these strings are a lower tension bass string.
- Power flat wound strings are smooth and provide a traditional feel and sound with solid low-end punch and traditional mellow flat wound tone and feel.
- Fusion Wound strings are available in nickel or stainless steel and are built with a 92/8 phosphor bronze first wrap fused to a high carbon steel core, resulting in a long lasting string with an amazing brightness and consistent tone.
- Recessed wound strings are Power Wound nickel strings with the cover wrap recessed on the E and B strings.
- Silencer semi-flat strings combine the smooth feel of compression wound semi-flat strings with a brighter sound closer to round wound strings.
- Phosphor bronze acoustic bass strings provide a rich, resonant tone. Made from a blend of copper, tin and phosphorus, these strings deliver warmth and clarity, making them ideal for acoustic performances in any genre.
