Power Wound Nickel in .045–.125 (NR545125G&L) is the standard five-string gauge, cut for G&L.
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.
Fit: Extra long scale, cut for G&L basses. About 38" usable winding length (ball end to taper). The .125 B is taper wound at the bridge; the bridge taper starts about 1 7/8" to 2" from the ball end. Measurements are approximate. Made in the USA.
