Gauges: 50, 70, 85, 105, 125 Bass - Wound Nickel Steels - Long Scale - 5-String Set
Extreme metal asks a lot from a bass string. The challenge isn't just getting enough low end—it's keeping every note clear once the guitars, drums, and gain all come crashing in. Behemoth’s Orion handpicked this custom Hybrid Wound Nickel set to cut through all of it: attack and definition up front, real warmth and body underneath.
Warranty Information
Play a single note and let it ring. You'll hear steel's bite up top with nickel adding punch and warmth underneath thanks to a nickel outer layer wrapped around an inner steel layer. Every note sounds clear and articulate, even in Behemoth's darkest, heaviest tracks.
Ever notice how some bass tones just disappear into the distortion? Crank the gain, stack up the guitars, and this set fights right through it with a gnarly attack and fierce midrange that let you hold it all together when the music turns hellacious.
This set comes with heavier top strings than a standard set—a 70 and a 50 where you'd usually find a 65 and a 45—carefully selected by Orion for strong fundamentals and extra mass that make the whole set feel massive and powerful.
You find out pretty quickly whether a bass string is any good when you're touring and recording extreme metal night after night. Orion's feedback helped shape a string that holds its edge show after show.
The best gear isn't the gear you notice—it's the gear you stop thinking about because it simply works. That's been Dunlop's philosophy for more than 60 years, and it's the same mindset behind every string we build.
Every Dunlop string is manufactured in California using carefully selected American-made materials chosen for their tone, consistency, and feel. From raw materials to final winding, every detail is built to our exact standards.
