GHS Bass Boomers XL3045 Extra Light .030-.090 4-String set of bass guitar strings

General

The GHS Bass Boomers XL3045 is a complete string set for a 4-string electric bass guitar, designed for players who want a light feel with plenty of definition. The extra-light gauges allow for smooth playing with less tension under your fingers: ideal for fast lines, long gigs or if you prefer a little less resistance. The strings are made from nickel-plated steel and feature a roundwound winding for a bright, open tone. The hexagonal core (hex core) ensures a tight response. Suitable for 34-inch long-scale basses and made in the USA.

Bright, lively and direct

Bass Boomers are renowned for their punch and clear attack. The roundwound construction lets your bass ‘speak’ more clearly, with plenty of presence and detail in the treble. This brings out articulation, slides and dynamics more effectively, whether you’re playing fingerstyle or with a pick. Nickel-plated steel keeps the tone beautifully balanced: bright enough for definition, yet with sufficient body to prevent it from sounding thin. The hex core contributes to stability and a consistent feel, ensuring your notes remain tight, even with a firm strike.

Gauge and compatibility

This XL3045 set consists of four strings with gauges of .030”, .050”, .070” and .090”. This makes it a genuine extra-light set: ideal if you’re looking for a low sense of string tension or want your bass to play just that little bit more easily. The set is suitable for electric bass guitars with a 34” long scale. Handy for a complete string change without having to mix and match individual strings, whilst retaining the distinctive Boomers sound as a foundation.
