Electric Bass Steel Info
Bass players demand consistency, durability and versatility from their strings. Dunlop delivers. Dunlop Bass Strings offer traditionalists, slappers, and pickwielding rockers cutting midrange, wide bottom end and a growl that will cut through any band. Carefully selected core-to-wrap ratios yield low tension strings with an extremely long life, and minimal break-in time. Each set is exceptionally well balanced string-to-string, and provides an amazing amount of dynamic range. Dunlop Bass Strings are available in warm and rich sounding nickel-plated steel and punchy and bright stainless steel in all popular and custom gauges.
Every set of Dunlop Strings come packaged utilizing three levels of moisture protection and sealed in a VCI Fresh Technology (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) bag to guarantee that your strings arrive as fresh as the day they were made.

The Electric Bass Steel FAQs
Q: What is the length of your bass strings?
A: Our winding length is between 37" and 37 1/4"
Q: There are visible gaps in the windings of some of your strings. Is this normal?
A: Because of the angles of the wrap wire that we use when winding these strings, there may be some small gaps between windings. This is perfectly normal for our strings. And as you can tell, there is no difference in tone. The Dunlop VCI Fresh system that we recently added is a vapor barrier that does not allow moisture into the package that can corrode the strings. It's one more step that Dunlop is taking to assure that you play the freshest strings possible.
