Gauges: 45, 65, 85, 105, 125 Bass - Nickel - Medium Scale - 5-String Set
A great 5-string set needs a low B that throws down a big low end and still feels like a natural extension of the rest. The one in this set matches the bouncy response and sweet, punchy voice of the other four strings while anchoring everything you play with the authoritative fundamental you expect from a low B.

We started with a simple question: What should a great modern nickel bass string actually sound and feel like? After years of refining the answer with working musicians, we developed a string with strong fundamentals, punchy mids, and enhanced presence that never sacrifices warmth or musicality. Eventually we realized the only way to keep chasing that idea was to build our own String Lab.
One of the first things you'll notice is how naturally these strings respond to your hands. Whether you're laying down grooves on the low B or playing higher on the neck, every string reacts with the same speed, balance, and musicality, letting your touch shape the sound.
Ever notice how some basses disappear when the whole band comes in? We designed Super Bright Nickel Wound Bass Strings to give every note a clear, authoritative presence in the mix while keeping the warmth and body that give nickel its voice.
One of the easiest ways to tell if a 5-string set is great is how naturally the low B string fits with the rest. Every string in this set responds with the same comfortable feel and vibrant character, so the entire range feels connected from top to bottom.
If you've got chops, why not let them shine? Super Bright Nickel Wound Bass Strings pair low tension with a silky smooth feel, so you can go hard, move fast, and still hear everything you play—all the way down to the low B.
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.
