GHS Bass Boomers Heavy .070-.140 4-String BEAD set of bass guitar strings

General

With this GHS Bass Boomers Heavy string set, you’ll instantly give your 4-string electric bass a solid foundation for lower tunings. The set consists of four roundwound strings made from nickel-plated steel with a hexagonal core, which ensures a tight feel and a clear attack. Thanks to the extra-thick gauges (.070, .090, .115, .140), you’ll maintain good string tension and definition, even when tuning down. What’s more, these Bass Boomers strings are made in the USA, just as you’d expect from GHS.

Specially designed for BEAD tuning

This set has been developed for BEAD tuning: ideal if you want to use the low B on a 4-string bass (B-E-A-D) instead of the standard EADG tuning. The heavy gauges provide greater stability, less ‘flub’ in the low end and help maintain better intonation. The set is designed for 34-inch long-scale basses, ensuring the length and tension are well-suited to the most common scale length. Perfect for metal, rock and modern styles where a tight low end is essential.

Boomers sound & feel

Bass Boomers are renowned for their energetic, punchy sound with enough clarity to cut through a mix. The roundwound winding gives you extra definition when fingerpicking and a bite when using a pick, whilst the nickel-plated steel offers a balance between warmth and presence. The hex core contributes to a tighter response and a solid attack, which is particularly pleasant at low tunings. In short: a no-nonsense set for bassists who want to go low without compromising on articulation.
