Stainless steel roundwound bass guitar strings. Made for explorers of drop tuning, this is the thicker gauge version of the roundwound string that James How and John Entwistle perfected into what was to become the industry standard. The bright punchy high energy sound this string offers is a big part of early rock music as we know it and brought the bass player from the back line to the front. This set allows bass players to lower their tunings down to B (for tuning down to F# try our Drop Zone Plus bass strings)
