A 4-string electric bass string set is a set of 4 metal strings designed for use on a 4-string electric bass. The strings are classified according to their thickness or draw, which determines the tension exerted on the string and the way it sounds.

In the case of a 4-string electric bass string set with a draw range of 49-108, this means that the strings are graded in order of thickness, with the thinnest (the G string) measuring 0.049 inches in diameter and the thickest (the B string) measuring 0.108 inches in diameter. The two remaining strings (D and A) have intermediate thicknesses.

The choice of a set of bass strings depends largely on the style of music played and the player's personal preference. Thicker strings tend to produce a more powerful and richer sound, while thinner strings are easier to play and can produce a brighter sound. The choice of drawbar also depends on how much tension the player wants to put on the strings and how comfortable they want to play.
