GHS Super Steels CM5000 Custom Medium Light .045-.105 4-String set of bass guitar strings

General

The GHS Super Steels CM5000 is a set of strings for electric bass guitar renowned for its bright, direct tone. The use of stainless steel gives you a crisp attack, clear overtones and a strong presence in the mix. This 4-string set is wound in a custom medium (light) gauge, giving you a great balance between playing comfort and solid string tension. Ideal for bassists who like a distinct, modern edge.

Bright, tight and responsive

The roundwound winding provides extra definition and a lively response, which is particularly pleasing for slap, pick-style or tight fingerstyle playing. Under the surface lies a hexagonal core (hex core), which gives the strings a stable feel and tighter tension. The result is a focused tone with a solid punch in the low end and sparkling highs. This makes this set a logical choice for rock, funk, pop and metal, or any situation where your bass line needs to ‘cut through’.

Long scale plus: 34” to 35”

This CM5000 set is designed for long scale plus basses with a scale length of 34 to 35 inches. This ensures the length is better suited to instruments with an (extra) long scale, resulting in a neater fit at the bridge and tuning machines. The gauges .045, .065, .080 and .105 deliver a familiar set balance, with a solid low string without feeling overly stiff. As you’d expect from GHS, these strings are made in the U.S.A.
