A set of strings for a 4-string electric bass with a drawbar of 55-115 is a collection of four strings of different diameters and specific lengths, designed to be used on a four-string electric bass.

The term "drawbar" refers to the thickness of the strings. In this case, the draw is 55-115, which means that the thinnest string has a diameter of 0.055 inches (about 1.4 millimeters) and the thickest string has a diameter of 0.115 inches (about 2.9 millimeters). Intermediate strings will have diameters between these two values.

Electric bass strings are usually made of steel or nickel, although there are other materials available. Thicker strings will produce a deeper, more powerful sound, but will also require more tension to tune properly.

The choice of string set for an electric bass will depend on the player's preferences for tone, playability and string life. Strings should be replaced periodically due to natural wear and loss of brilliance of sound. String manufacturers often provide information on the approximate life of their strings, as well as advice on maintenance.
