A ProSteels String Designed for Clarity and Impact
The D'Addario ProSteels PSB085 is a single electric bass string with a simple goal: maximize definition. Thanks to a specific steel alloy, it delivers bright trebles and detailed harmonics while maintaining firm and controlled lows. The result is a very clear register, ideal for making every note stand out, even on fast lines or amp settings rich in gain.
Whether you play fingerstyle for an articulated attack or with a pick for a more aggressive playing style, this PSB085 brings the energy and bite typical of the ProSteels range. Perfect as a replacement string after a break, it is also an excellent choice for creating custom sets tailored to your tuning, style, and touch.
