Gauges: 45, 63, 85, 102, 130 Nickel Wound 5-String Long Scale
Robert Trujillo combines a hard-hitting attack with the control to keep his sound tight and focused. That's even more important on a 5-string bass, where the low B takes a bit more wrangling. We designed this nickel wound set to extend that same power and focus all the way down to the bottom of the range, so the low B feels like a natural extension of Robert's voice.
Warranty Information
Robert's smash-and-grab attack really puts a set through it. That's why we designed these strings to hold the shape of every note and deliver that bold sound night after night, no matter how hard you hit them.
When the guitars stack up and the mix gets crowded, you need strings that help you carve out your place. These pack a solid midrange punch and clear, articulate highs that cut right through. Test it yourself: have a couple of guitarists crank the gain chug out some riffs, then throw down a groove and hear every note hold its own.
Crushing riffs, deep grooves, melodic runs up top—Robert moves effortlessly from one to the other. This set has the range to cover it all, with the big bottom end to drive the heavy stuff and the expressive nuance to let the lyrical passages sing.
Every signature string worth making starts with a problem worth solving. Robert's search for more power and tighter definition under his heavy attack helped shape a string that delivers both, 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.
