GHS Pressurewound Bass Strings - Medium Light Set (ML7200) - 44-102

The clarity and bottom end on these strings is absolutely wonderful. They still feel a lot like roundwounds but have a little less string noise, feel better on my old, arthritic fingers. I am most impressed by how strong the bottom is, since these are medium-light gauge. They compare favorably against the medium-guage strings I have on my other bass. Just put them on so no idea how they compare in durability, but they are very well made so should last at least as long as average round wounds, probably a bit longer.

I like having my jazz bass in sort of a middle ground between flats and rounds. I’d previously used d’addario half wounds for many years, but after trying these out I don’t think I’ll be going back. The sound is closer to rounds while still feeling a lot like flats. Keeping these on my J and regular flats on my P gives me all the range I want. Definitely worth a try.

The search is over for the perfect P-Bass string set.When you first put them on they basically sound like traditional round wounds minus the string squeak. But after playing on them for a week or so they come into focus much like a flat wound, with a strong fundamental. But not so focused that there is no pleasing upper mid range harmonic content.I use the light/medium set and man are they easy on the fingers! At that gauge they bend easily, while having better tension than the same gauge would be in a round wound. On the one hand they are much less rough than a round wound, and on the other hand they won’t tear you skin off on a humid day like flats will.If you play a jazz bass and do a lot of slap, you may wish these had more zing, otherwise I strongly recommend them.

Wanted something smoother than a roundwound string, but brighter than a flatwound or half-wound (was looking for a modern sound, but not super alive/sizzle-ly ala Jaco, etc). Finally settled on these after trying several different brands. Does not mark up my fingerboard (an expensive custom 5 string fretless elec bass), feels good under the fingers, keeps their brightness for quite a while. I've used lots of strings over a 25 year career, these will be the only ones for that bass! Thank you GHS!

These are the best bass strings. Doesn’t make your fingers hurt

Nice, doable compromise between bright, punchy, noisy rounds and subdued, smooth and mellow flats or tapers.

I’ve been an Ernie Ball user for years. The only reason I tried these is this bass is very bright and zingy. I needed some strings to tone it down. These do just that. Plus they are slightly smoother than standard round wounds. I can’t speak for longevity but as of right now, 100% happy with these.

Sound great, feel great, fret-less or with.. at least give them a try.. be impressed

These aren't as top end 'sparkly' as SS rounds, but not as dull and lifeless as many flats. In between - easy on fingers and scrape noise - the tension is perfect and when you dig in, they sound as good as worked in rounds. For ME (I am not a sweat-er)..they last a long time...I play 2 hours a day..double on weekends - I can get nearly 7-8 months out of them - the G string usually is the fail. My biggest prob is I have too many bass' and I would get divorced if i changed out every bass too these strings - ha. Cha-Ching

Ideales para un sonido más cálido y vintage sin ser cuerdas planas.

I've really been struggling to find the right set of strings for my new active P bass - I have used flat wounds on other basses for many years as I play a lot of Reggae and they give me the sound I need, but since buying the P bass I've been playing a lot more punk stuff and flats just don't have the right tone. Tried a few sets of other brand wound-wound strings (Slinky, Hybrid Slinky, Cobalts etc) and they have all been either too tinny, or way too rough on my fingers. Thought I'd try these Pressure-wound strings out, and wow! they are amazing!! Best of both worlds - I can still get a lot of top-end from them, then dial the tone off for more of a flat-wound sound. They are pretty smooth to the touch, half way between flat and round wound. I can see me buying more of these for my other basses...

Le corde sono nuove ma sono arrivate leggermente ossidate in diversi punti… peccato…

Ottime corde ma non sono quello che cercavo... Praticamente sono equiparabili a delle roundwound in acciaio.. Sferragliano e al tatto non mi sembrano particolarmente lisce.. Anzi.Sono comunque corde di qualità ma per me non hanno vantaggi particolari che giustifichino la spesa.
