GHS Brings Added Pressure to Bass String Market

GHS Strings has launched a new range of Pressurewound Bronze strings for the acoustic/electric bass.

Many acoustic/electric bass players know that the traditional bronze strings that come standard on these basses have harsh overtones and a lot of string noise. GHS created the Pressurewound Bronze bass strings to tackle these issues. By rollerwinding the final bronze cover, the string noise is eliminated, leaving acoustic bronze tone without anything extra.

GHS manufactured the Pressurewound Bronze bass strings, using the same construction concepts as the Balanced Nickels and took the final bronze cover and rollerwound it to eliminate any string squeakiness. The strings are made so that finger noise is eliminated.

Designed much like the Balanced Nickel bass sets; each string has two covers, wound over a round core. This design also allows the Pressurewound Bronze to be used on an electric bass with magnetic pickups, yielding a smooth, mid-forward sound. 

 The Pressurewound Bronze are available in a 4-string set (light 42-92) with a single 120 gauge available for 5 string basses.
