When you're throwing down the low end next to a couple of ripping guitar players who love themselves some serious saturation, you need a tone big and bold enough to hold your own. That's why Paolo Gregoletto came to us—we developed these Hybrid Wound strings to give him the low-end punch of nickel and the assertive edge of stainless steel. Just what he needs to hold his place in the mix.

Warranty Information

The Long Story

Designed to give Paolo Gregoletto a bigger, bolder tone, these Hybrid Wound Nickel Bass Strings are made with alternating nickel and steel windings with a nickel outer wrap to tap into the unique tonality of both materials. Nickel layers provide a big, punchy low end while the steel layers allow you to cut through the mix with an aggressive midrange. Boosted by steel and tamed by nickel, the top end is pronounced yet musical. Under the fingers, Hybrid Wound Bass Strings are smooth and comfortable to play. From tone to touch, you won’t find a more exceptionally balanced set of bass strings.

“I’ve been using Dunlop strings for a while now. When they came to me with these Hybrid Wound Bass Strings, I immediately made them a part of my setup. If you want to get the perfect rock or metal bass tone, these are the strings to use!” —Paolo Gregoletto

      BUILT TO STAND OUT

      It starts with the build. A nickel outer wrap over a steel inner core lets every string do two jobs at once. The nickel lays down the deep, punchy low end that anchors the whole band, while the steel adds an aggressive midrange and pronounced top end that give each note real bite. You hold down the foundation and cut through the mix at the same time.

      Controlled Aggression

      This is where the steel earns its keep. Dig in and you'll hear the aggressive midrange and clarity that modern metal demands, but it's musical, expressive, and leaves space for the low end to do its thing .

      Powerful Fundamental

      You're still a bass player, so you need to serve up the low end glue that keeps everything together. Nickel lays down a foundation that's rich and full, anchoring every note with heft and authority.

      Artist-Driven Refinement

      Paolo's search for a bass voice that could hold its own in a modern metal mix inspired a hybrid design that balances power, articulation, and musicality in every note. The result became the basis for the Hybrid Wound line of bass strings, giving Paolo just what he needed while putting that same voice in the hands of players everywhere.

      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.
