DBN30130

Description

Gauges: 30, 45, 65, 85, 105, 130 Bass - Nickel - Long Scale - 6-String Set

 

The 6-string bass is its own kind of instrument. It’s not a five-string with a high C tacked on. We engineered this set for consistent feel, note definition, and tonal balance across the instrument’s expanded range so that every string feels and sounds like it belongs.

      PRECISION-ENGINEERED STRINGS

      We started with a simple question: What should a great bass string actually sound like? After years of refining the answer with working musicians, we landed on a voice with strong fundamentals, punchy mids, and rich harmonics that stay musical in any mix. Eventually we realized the only way to keep chasing that idea was to build our own String Lab.

      Punchy Midrange Growl

      Ever notice how the bass can drop out when the guitars kick in? That's usually because it needs a more pronounced midrange. We engineer Dunlop Nickel Wound Bass Strings to punch up that midrange so you can hear—and feel—every note you play.

      Rich Harmonics

      Great bass strings don't just give you the note—they give you the character around it. Listen to what happens after the initial attack. Dunlop Nickel Wound Bass Strings bloom with rich harmonics that add depth, dimension, and the kind of musical complexity that makes a bass feel alive.

      Tonally Balanced

      The wider the range, the more string-to-string balance matters. We voice every string to work with the ones around it, so the feel and response stay consistent from the low B all the way to the high C.

      Built for Any Style

      One of the joys of a 6-string is moving between deep foundational grooves and upper-register melodies. Dunlop Nickel Wound Bass Strings keep up with all of it—whether you're laying down a low groove with your fingers, comping chords up top, or slapping and popping in between.

      Artist-Driven Refinement

      You find out pretty quickly whether a bass string is any good when you're playing it every night. Touring musicians told us what held up, what didn't, and what they wished every string would do. We took that feedback back to the String Lab and kept refining until we got there.

      Distinguished by Design

      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.

      Made in the U.S.A.

      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.
