Gauges: 55, 70, 85, 115 Bass - Nickel - Long Scale - 4-String Set
Some bass players want the string to push back a little. This heavier-gauge set delivers a more substantial feel with increased tension so that every note hits with greater authority and a tight, focused low end, backed by the warm punch and versatility of Dunlop Nickel Wound Bass 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.
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.
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.
String-to-string balance is one of those things you rarely notice until it's missing. When every string responds with the same feel and character the instrument feels more connected and your hands stop compensating for inconsistencies.
Heavier strings ask a little more from your hands—and they come back at you with solid feel and powerful tone. Whether you're driving a rock riff with a pick, walking a blues line with your fingers, or slapping into a funk groove, this set will hold it all together no matter how hard you play.
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.
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.
