Description

Bass players demand consistency, durability and versatility from their strings. Dunlop delivers. Dunlop Bass Strings offer traditionalists, slappers, and pickwielding rockers cutting midrange, wide bottom end and a growl that will cut through any band. Carefully selected core-to-wrap ratios yield low tension strings with an extremely long life, and minimal break-in time. Each set is exceptionally well balanced string-to-string, and provides an amazing amount of dynamic range. Dunlop Bass Strings are available in warm and rich sounding nickel-plated steel and punchy and bright stainless steel in all popular and custom gauges. Gauges: .045, .065, .085, .105, .130T

  • Drop Tuning Goodness
Size: Extra Heavy Drop Style: 4 String
I was a little concerned that I may have to file the nut on my ESP Stream to use these Dunlop Extra Heavy strings but, these strings dropped right in with no modification necessary. I love being able to use a drop C tuning without slack in my strings. These Dunlop strings stay in tune really well, sound bright, and really match that resonant low end I am after when I cover my favorite drop tuned songs. I hope you find them to be as enjoyable to play with as I have. ... show more

  • Great for metal tones
Size: Medium/Heavy Style: 5 String
For metal tones, these are some of the best strings I've used for my 5-String Cort. I did a lot of research before picking these up and tried something new. I had never bought stainless steel strings before, but after reading I noticed that many metal bassists use that material. I'm currently using Dunlop's signature Zakk Wylde Hardcore strings on my DBZ, which I love, so it was an easy choice to grab these up. ... show more

  • Got these because they were cheap
Size: Medium Tapered Style: 6 String
I got this 6-string set thinking, they were on sale and I could put them on my Sadowsky 5 string. They weren’t great but I played them on a few jobs. Then they prematurely went dead and started having intonation issues. I love Dunlop’s picks and other accessories but these strings weren’t great.

  • Both good and bad
Size: Medium Style: 5 String
Bright Bright Bright. Both good and bad. They make a lot of movement noise, but I think that's more my play style.

  • Does not fit 35" scale, string-thru-body bass!
Size: Medium Style: 5 String
Actually - 0 stars. First let me say - I LOVE Dunlop's electric guitar strings. Fantastic products that last a long time, stay in tune, very durable, etc. Sadly, this string set does not fit my 35" scale 5 string, thru-body-only bridge (Traben Array Limited). More specifically, the taper is starts before the nut on the B, A and D strings - which means those strings buzz uncontrollably open or at the 1st fret. The E taper was just barely passable - it at least started at the nut, not before. Neither adjusting the truss nor saddles would help this - the strings are literally a millimeter too low at the nut because of the premature taper. The first bad thing was that I had to go digging around for the length/scale on these strings - it's not printed anywhere on the specs here at Amazon or on Dunlop's website. I had to dig around in their FAQ section to find that these strings are wound to 37" or 37.5". So I ripped off my current A string (an MTD .80), marked and measured it - 36.75" from ball to nut. I should have been good to go. I pre-emailed Dunlop's customer service department to ask about their compatibility with my bass, but hadn't heard back. I needed strings, so I took the plunge. 5 days later, I haven't heard back from my original email. Now I have a support email out to see if they can help. Here's hoping they're more attentive after the sale (won't hold my breath). So far, I've been burned by the supposed "Super Long" offerings by GHS, DR, EB and now my beloved Dunlop! Bass string mfr's - will you please get better at accurately publishing the length of your strings from ball to TAPER? This is frustrating for those of us who feel they have a great instrument, but can't get compatible accessories. ... show more
