The Long Story

Dunlop Stainless Steel Bass Strings sound clear and defined with an aggressive and articulate midrange riding on top of a solid bottom end. Each set is tonally balanced from string to string to give you a consistently robust low end no matter where you play on the fingerboard. Whether you're a traditionalist, a slapper, or a pick-wielding rocker, Dunlop Stainless Steel Bass Strings give you what you need to build a solid foundation and drive the music forward.

As with everything we make, we started from scratch and designed Dunlop Strings from the ground up to fit our vision of what a string should be. Each of our formulas is developed with on-the-road feedback from some of the greatest players in the world. At our headquarters in Benicia, California, we take a hands-on approach, running our machines at a slower pace and producing smaller batches, which allows us much more control at every step of the process. We also seal them in a protective bag for freshness and longevity. Every set of Dunlop Strings is the result of our obsession with details, which is ultimately an obsession with quality, consistency, and serving your needs as a player.

Inside each pack of Dunlop Strings is more than 50 years of deep knowledge and experience gained from working with guitar players to further their playing experience.

Made in the USA.

      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.

      Maximum Definition

      There's a certain clarity you only really get from stainless steel strings—that crisp, articulate detail that puts an edge on every note. We built Dunlop Stainless Steel Bass Strings to deliver that vibrant definition without sacrificing the low end.

      Aggressive Midrange

      When the band gets loud, the bass is usually the first thing to get buried. With the bold midrange bite of Dunlop Stainless Steel Bass Strings, you can carve out a space for your groove to sit in any mix.

      Fast & Responsive

      One of the first things you'll notice about a lighter stainless steel set is how quickly it responds to your hands. With less mass to move, this set of Dunlop Stainless Steel Bass Strings lets you play everything from slow, walking grooves to high-speed runs with ease.

      Tonally Balanced

      A great 5-string should feel like one complete instrument, not four familiar strings and one that's playing by different rules. This set was designed so every string responds with the same familiar feel, helping the entire instrument play as one cohesive whole.

      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.
