GHS Bassics L6000 Light .040-.102 4-String set of bass guitar strings

General

The GHS Bassics L6000 is a complete set of strings for a 4-string electric bass guitar, designed to offer a pleasantly light feel with a clear, open tone. With gauges ranging from .040 to .102, you get a fine balance: supple enough for comfortable playing, yet with plenty of body in the low end. The strings are made from nickel-plated steel and feature a roundwound winding, giving you greater definition and clarity in your tone. This set is suitable for 34-inch long-scale basses and is made in the USA.

Bright tone with a tight response

Thanks to the roundwound construction, your bass sounds lively and direct, with extra detail in the treble and a clear attack. This is useful if you like to hear articulation when playing fingerstyle, with a pick, or in tighter parts of a band mix. Nickel-plated steel ensures a balanced character: bright, but not overly sharp. The hexagonal core (hex core) gives the strings a tighter feel and a fast response, ensuring your touch remains consistent and notes come through crisply.

Gauge and compatibility

The L6000 set consists of four strings with gauges of .040”, .058”, .080” and .102”. This makes it a light set that is a great all-round choice for many bassists, especially if you prefer slightly less tension than with heavier sets. The set is designed for electric bass guitars with a 34” long scale. Ideal for a complete string change without having to mix and match individual strings, offering a familiar playing feel and a clear roundwound tone as a basis.
