  • What are the 4 bass strings?

  • What do the numbers on bass strings mean?

    String gauge is more than a number: it determines how your bass strings will feel and sound. The rule of thumb is, that heavy-gauge strings (around . 050 - . 105) have a richer bottom-end, but require more finger-strength than a lighter set, typically.

  • How long should bass strings last?

    Bass strings last from roughly 1 month to 5 years, in some cases, depending on how often you play your strings, they will sound a lot more dull after some time.

  • How thick should bass strings be?
