Product Overview
Crafted for the discerning bassist, GHS SHORT SCALE 32.75" Wind Pressurewound Electric Bass Strings 40-96 seamlessly blend the best of roundwound and flatwound technologies. The unique hybrid winding process offers a smooth touch while retaining the powerful brightness and sustain required for a commanding performance.
With a construction that features a nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a hex core, these strings deliver a tone that resonates with both warmth and clarity. The pressure-winding technique ensures an even distribution of tension, which translates to a more consistent sound across all frets. This means every note you pluck resonates with the precision of a finely-tuned Swiss watch—except, of course, it's a bass guitar, and you're less likely to get dirty looks from the family if you practice at 3 a.m.
Ranging from a beefy .040 to a thunderous .096, this set caters to those who appreciate a full-bodied response without sacrificing playability. The medium gauge strikes a balance between power and flexibility, allowing for everything from slapping to fingerstyle with ease. The strings maintain their integrity under intense playing, reducing the need for frequent changes and giving you more time on stage and less in the repair shop.
GHS Pressurewound Electric Bass Strings do more than just enhance your tone; they redefine it. Feel the difference with each note, armed with the knowledge that you’re using strings engineered for performance, durability, and a touch of panache. Whether you're holding down the rhythm section or adding melodic flourishes, these strings are designed to elevate your sound to new heights. In a world where mediocrity abounds, let your bass resonate with the excellence of GHS.
A flattened nickel-iron (Alloy 52™) wire produces an incredibly articulate string that will run the gamut from motown to progressive, while keeping your finger noise to a minimum. The rollerwinding leaves a slick feel to the strings, that is also ideal for fretless bass. Fretless players love how Pressurewounds retain that signature "mwah" tone, while going easy on their fingerboards.
Why Should You Play Pressurewounds?
- You're looking for a deep tone, complete with punch and dynamics
- You love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise
- You want a long lasting string with plenty of tonality
