The Long Story

The bass tone of Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister is as singular as the man himself—powerful midrange with tons of punch and crunch. Dunlop now offers players the same custom set of stainless steel strings that drove Lemmy's iconic tone.

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.
