A five-string set for your bass setup

Choose the BS5-45 when your preferred setup calls for 045–065–085–105–130 gauges. Whether you are preparing for a rehearsal or replacing a worn set before a recording session, the complete gauge specification helps you choose consistently.

Stainless steel roundwound construction

This set features stainless steel strings with roundwound winding. It is intended for players who prefer stainless steel and the textured feel of roundwound strings rather than flatwound construction.

Taper-core .130 string

The thickest string uses taper-core construction. Check the position of the tapered section at your bridge during installation and verify compatibility with your bass’s bridge and string length requirements.
