Description
For five-string players who need clarity up top without losing the weight down low, this Dunlop Super Bright set (45, 65, 85, 105, 125) is a long-scale nickel wound string built to keep every register of your bass honest. The low B stays fat and controlled instead of turning to mud, while the G and D strings deliver punchy mids that sit well in a busy band mix.
Tension is on the lighter side, which means your hands can relax a bit more on longer sets and fast passages — you get better feel for dynamics, ghost notes, and slides without fighting the string. The nickel winding is smooth under the fingers, so runs up and down the neck feel less like work and more like playing.
Dunlop designed these strings with input from working bass players, then tested them on real gigs before finalizing the formula. Production happens in small batches at their Benicia, California facility, where the slower pace is intentional — it’s how they keep string-to-string balance consistent set after set. Each set ships sealed for freshness so they’re ready to perform the moment you cut the pack open.
