A set of strings for 4-string basses drawing 40-120 is a standard set of strings for a four-string bass. The designation "40-120" refers to the thickness of each individual string, measured in thousandths of an inch (or hundredths of a millimeter).

Thicker strings (the thickest bass strings are generally around .130 inch / 3.3 mm) will produce a deeper, more powerful sound, but will also require more tension to hit the right note. Thinner strings will produce a clearer, higher-pitched sound, but will also be easier to play.

A set of 4-string bass strings in the 40-120 range will work for most styles of bass music, such as rock, jazz, funk, blues and pop. However, personal preferences may vary, and some bassists may prefer thicker or thinner strings depending on their playing style and desired sound.
