Description
Short scale basses have a voice all their own, and this Dunlop nickel wound set is made to bring that voice out. The 45-65-85-105 gauge spread gives you a warm, solid low end without going flabby, while the midrange keeps enough bite to punch through a band mix instead of disappearing into the guitars. Fingerstyle, slap, or pick — the tonal balance holds up string to string, so the growl and clarity you get on the E string carries the same character all the way up to the G.
- Gauges: .045, .065, .085, .105
- Nickel wound construction for warm fundamentals with rich harmonic content
- Short scale, 4-string set
- Consistent tonal balance across the entire fingerboard
- Made in the USA
Dunlop didn’t just copy an existing formula here — these strings were built from the ground up in Benicia, California, using feedback pulled straight from touring players. The batches run smaller and slower on purpose, which gives their team tighter control over winding consistency from set to set. Every pack gets sealed for freshness before it ships, so what you’re stringing up is what left the factory, not something that’s been sitting exposed on a shelf.
For short scale bass players who’ve had to settle for long scale sets cut down or reformulated strings that never quite matched their instrument’s natural feel, this set is built specifically for that shorter tension and response. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense string for anyone who wants their short scale to sound as authoritative as it feels in the hands.
