43-118 There is 1 product.

A set of strings for a 5-string electric bass drawing from 43-118 is a set of five strings of different diameters that are designed to be used with a five-string electric bass.

The first number, 43, represents the diameter of the thinnest string in the set, the G string, while the second number, 118, represents the diameter of the thickest string, the B string.

The string tension is the amount of tension exerted on the strings of the bass, and is usually determined by a combination of the string diameter and the length of the bass. The higher the tension on the strings, the more difficult they will be to play but the brighter and more resonant the sound.

Choosing a set of strings for a 5-string electric bass that draws from 43-118 gives you a full range of notes for playing modern music, from jazz to metal to pop. The thinner strings provide a clearer, more precise sound for fast, complex bass parts, while the thicker strings provide a deeper, more bassy tone for heavier, more powerful bass parts.
