Power Wound Nickel Octave 8-String Bass Strings – 18–90 (NR81890L)
Made in Akron, Ohio. Ships within 2 business days.
Power Wound Nickel in .018–.090 (NR81890L) is the lightest of our three octave eight-string sets.
Each of the four courses pairs a main string with a second string tuned an octave above it, so the bass plays E, A, D and G with the octave ringing alongside.
Power Wound is nickel-plated steel wrapped over a high carbon steel hex core. It is the warm, punchy voice most people mean when they say bass strings: clear highs, strong mids and a low end with real weight behind it.
Standard long scale. Made in the USA.
Gauges: mains .040 (G) .055 (D) .070 (A) .090 (E) · octaves .018 (g) .025 (d) .035 (a) .045 (e)
