A set of strings for a 5-string electric bass drawing 45-128 is a set of five metal strings designed specifically for use on a five-string electric bass. The numbers 45-128 refer to the thickness of the strings, measured in thousandths of an inch (or sometimes hundredths of a millimeter).

String tension is the amount of tension exerted on the strings when they are tuned to the appropriate pitch. A higher tension means that the strings are tighter and require more force to play, while a lower tension means that the strings are less tense and require less force to play.

In the case of a set of 5-string electric bass strings with a draw range of 45-128, this means that the thinnest string (the highest string in terms of pitch) is 0.045 inches in diameter and the thickest string (the lowest string in terms of pitch) is 0.128 inches in diameter. The intermediate strings have diameters proportional to their respective pitch.

Choosing a set of electric bass strings depends on a number of factors, including the style of music you play, the tone you're looking for, your playing technique, and your personal preference for playing feel. String sets with a higher drawbar are generally better suited for aggressive playing styles, such as heavy metal, while string sets with a lower drawbar may be preferable for softer playing styles, such as jazz.
