Foundations Nickel in .045–.125 (FN545125XL) is the standard five-string gauge, cut long.
Foundations Nickel is brighter and more flexible than our Power Wound sets. The strings bend further with less effort and sit easier under the fretting hand, and the top end is crisper. You can spot a set in the pack: Foundations ball ends are red.
Fit: Extra long scale, for basses with a 35" scale or longer. About 38" usable winding length (ball end to taper), 48"–49" overall. Measurements are approximate. Made in the USA.
