How to choose
Match the string set to your bass's scale length and string count.
Beginner
A player restringing their first bass should choose the 4-string long scale set at 50-105 for an easy, balanced feel. Fit the strings carefully at the bridge and tuning pegs, then stretch and retune a few times before playing.
Intermediate
Bassists moving to a 5-string instrument can use the 5-string long scale set at .045-.130 light gauge to keep a similar feel across the extra string. Check the neck relief after changing gauge, since tension differences can affect setup.
Expert
Players on short scale basses can select the Short Scale Brite Wire set at .050-.105 medium for consistent tension on a shorter neck. Change strings regularly for recording or touring work, since tone brightness fades with heavy use.
