GHS Bassics M6000-5 Medium .044-.130 5-String set of bass guitar strings

General

The GHS Bassics M6000-5 is a complete set of strings for a 5-string electric bass guitar, designed for bassists looking for a solid, reliable foundation. With this medium-gauge set, you’ll have plenty of tension for a tight attack and a powerful low B, without it feeling sluggish. The strings are made from nickel-plated steel and feature a roundwound winding: ideal if you want a bright, open tone with plenty of definition. Thanks to the hexagonal core (hex core), you’ll also benefit from an immediate response. Suitable for 34” long-scale basses.

Bright and punchy in the mix

The roundwound construction gives you a clear attack and extra detail in the treble, ensuring your parts cut through well in a band. Think tight rock riffs, funky ghost notes or dynamic fingerstyle playing: the string responds quickly and remains articulate. Nickel-plated steel keeps the tone balanced, with plenty of brightness but also sufficient body. The hex core provides a tight feel and stability, which is ideal for hard strumming and when controlling the low B string.

Gauge and compatibility

The M6000-5 set consists of five strings with gauges of .044”, .063”, .084”, .106” and .130”. This gives you a standard medium gauge set that’s highly versatile whilst providing a solid foundation. This set is designed for electric 5-string bass guitars with a 34” long scale. Handy for a complete string change in one go, so your instrument feels fresh again and is in perfect intonation.
