Overview
5 String NPS RoundCore(TM) Bass

By using a round core, NPS RoundCore(TM) Bass has more mass than ordinary hex-core strings. This provides total contact between the core wire and the outer wrap. The resulting total-contact gives you a fuller sounding, longer lasting string with a lot more tone, punch and brilliance. Youll also love the feel of NPS RoundCore(TM) Bass.
Rocco Prestia is often called the father of modern bass guitar. He redefined the instruments role, and the list of players whove been influenced by Roccos style reads like the Bassist Hall of Fame. So, naturally, when Rocco approached us with an idea for developing a new string, Dean Markley listened.
The result is NPS Roundcore, and the concept is fairly simple. By using a round core instead of the traditional hexagonal, the wraps maintain constant contact with the core. Total contact gives a fuller sound, with more tone, punch, and brilliance.
