A short scale string set built for stage and studio
The Gibson Brite Wire electric bass strings are designed for bassists who want to maintain a present and articulate sound, rehearsal after rehearsal. Their design emphasizes durability and a clear attack, ideal for cutting through mixes in rock, pop, funk, or alternative genres, while preserving a firm and defined low end.
Reinforced construction for stable feel and precise response
At the core of this set is a high carbon steel hex core, around which the winding is precisely crafted. The result: a more stable playing feel under the fingers, reliable intonation, and strings that retain their tonal qualities longer. The nickel-plated steel winding offers an excellent balance of brightness, punch, and comfort, with generous sustain and a clear attack whether you play with a pick or fingers.
