Bass strings with durable build and powerful, punchy tone.
The Gibson Long Scale Brite Wire 5-String Electric Bass Strings use high-carbon steel in the core and nickel-plated steel wrapped around each string. These strings feel tough and last a long time, even if you play often. The hex-shaped core keeps the tension steady, so every note stays in tune. Winding with nickel-plated steel makes the sound stronger and gives your bass more punch. The light gauges run from .045 to .130, so each string fits tightly and can handle deep, loud playing. Master luthiers in Nashville designed these strings to work for five-string basses that need clear, powerful sound and solid durability.
Gibson Strings Add Punch and Last Through Heavy Practice
Bass players who want their instrument to hold up through hours of practice use this string set. The nickel-plated steel keeps the sound sharp and helps the bass cut through a mix. A tough steel core means the strings don’t break easily, even when playing fast or bending notes. The light gauge makes it easier to move between strings, so hands stay comfortable. These strings let each note ring out, even when playing low or loud. With this string set, every band practice or show feels more solid and your bass stays ready for more music.

- High-carbon steel core adds strength for longer-lasting strings
