Foundations Stainless Steel in .040–.120 (FS540120L) is the lighter of our two five-string sets.
Foundations Stainless is brighter and more flexible than our Power Steel sets. The strings bend further and fret with less effort, and the stainless wrap takes the top end further still. You can spot a set in the pack: Foundations ball ends are red.
Fit: Standard long scale, for most 34" scale basses. About 37.25" usable winding length (ball end to taper), except the .100 E and .120 B, which are about 37". 48"–49" overall. Measurements are approximate. Made in the USA.
