Your cart is empty.Bass players demand consistency, durability, and versatility from their strings. Dunlop delivers. Dunlop bass strings offer traditionalists, slappers, and pick-wielding rockers cutting midrange, wide bottom end, and a growl that will cut through any band. Carefully selected core-to-wrap ratios yield low tension strings with an extremely long life, and minimal break-in time. Each set is exceptionally well balanced string-to-string, and provides an amazing amount of dynamic range. Electric bass - nickel wound - short scale - 4-string set gauges: 45, 65, 85, 105.

These Dunlop flatwound strings are a little more expensive but in certain circumstances they are worth it. I like the tension and they sound really good. The difference in sound is hard to describe but it is noticeable. I don't know if I would put these strings on all my basses but for certain situations they are worth it.

Quedan muy bien para afinaciones en RE y DO, la tensión queda suficientemente tensa por lo que no hay trastes.

I’ve been looking for a set of strings with .115 on the bottom for drop C tuning on my 4-string bass. I tried several brands and they all suffered from the same issue: the lowest string sounded dull compared to the others. I tried these strings as my last resort and was pleasantly surprised. The low string sounds great! I’m probably going to stick with these!

I was originally running 5 string bass strings on my bass to tune low but found them to be too cumbersome acting like wet linguini above 160bpm. I switched to these bad boys and theyre perfect the neck tension is just right and theyre not hard to play. I’m tuned in B,F#,B,E these bad boys just hit the spot and keep tune well too especially with all the big bends i like to do! Solid. I will buy these for all my bass’s from standard tuning to drop B!

Dunlop makes great strings! i regularly use 10's and 11's on my guitars, but once i got my hands on a bass, these were the first sets' trying. They have a great punch and clarity, as well as a nice bass tone. For the price, you can't beat what you get, and they last a good while as well. great tone, at a great price! If you're looking for a set, jump on these!

This is my first set of light gauge strings and I love them. I put them on my Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass and they sound good no matter the settings of the bass. The feel is almost soft or rubbery compared to heavier gauges and I prefer that, it makes slapping ridiculously easy (for me, the way I play), as in I barely have to hit the string in order for it to respond the way I want it to. I don't feel like I have lost any low end or anything - that is what all those knobs on the instrument are for :). Going forward, I will buy these again - I love the feel of them and they're reasonably priced.

These are pretty good strings. I haven't used everything that is out there I usually stick to what I know, but I really liked the Dunlop electric guitar strings I had tried. And so far from the brands of bass strings I have tried, I like these strings best. I was using DR High Beams before. I still like those alright but these are a less expensive alternative that sounds just as good if not better.

First, let me start off by admitting I am not a bassist. I am a guitar player. I have a P Bass clone to write bass lines for music I record at home. I play with my fingers, thank you very much. No picks for me, even though I am a guitarist. So keep all this in mind as you read below. I like these strings very much. The tone is very even and notes are clear. Even the notes from low E up to G on the 4th string are distinct, which is not common on budget basses in my experience. The stock strings that were on this bass did not have this clarity. Also, the overall tone is nice. You can make it bright sounding, or you can make it mellow by plucking the strings with different parts of your fingers. Something else I noticed is the volume is pretty even from 4th strings up to 1st string, with the D and G strings being slightly louder depending on how you pluck. With this in mind, I can even the volume out with my plucking hand attack. The stock D'Adarrio strings didn't do this. Another nice feature is the stings feel good to the touch. Not as rough as the other brand. It's not as smooth as a flatwound, but still smoother feeling than some other brands of roundwounds. Also, The tension of the strings feel more consistent from string to string. On many basses, I've found that the low strings are really tight feeling and the upper stings feel loose. It is nice to have a set of strings where all strings feel the same aside from size. I don't know if fulltime bassists would agree with what I've said here. They know this instrument far better than a guy that has spent 20-some years playing the guitar. But I would tell them to give these a try if they are using a similar type of string. I have tried many brands of guitar strings and switched to dunlops on guitar. What I found great about the guitar strings also exists in these bass strings. I can't say anything about longevity, but so far I am very pleased with these strings. These strings make playing bass enjoyable for a guitarist. Imagine what they could do for someone that knew what they were doing.
