GHS Round Core Bass Boomers RC-5ML-DYB Medium Light .045-.126 5-string bass guitar string set

General

The GHS Round Core Bass Boomers RC-5ML-DYB is a string set for 5-string electric bass guitars, designed to deliver a wide frequency range. It produces a sound with plenty of body in the low-mids, whilst the high frequencies remain clear yet feel smooth. The strings are roundwound and wound around a round core, which contributes to a smooth response and a musical attack. With its medium-light gauges, this set strikes a fine balance between playing comfort and a firm, punchy tone.

Round core feel & Boomer sound

What sets this set apart is the combination of nickel-plated steel and a round core construction. Nickel-plated steel delivers a bright, versatile tone that suits a wide range of styles, from pop and funk to rock. Thanks to the round core, the string often feels just that little bit more flexible and responds evenly across the entire neck. The result: a full bass foundation with definition, without a sharp, harsh top end. Ideal if you want presence, but with a smooth edge.

For 34-inch long-scale basses

This set is designed for 34-inch long-scale 5-string electric bass guitars, which is the most common scale length. The set comprises five strings with gauges of .045, .065, .080, .100 and .126, giving you balanced tension and tonal balance across all strings. What’s more, the strings are made in the USA, which is an added bonus for many bassists when it comes to consistency and finish.
