ROCKTRONSETS - BALANCED NICKELS
SETS - BALANCED NICKELS
GHS is proud to release Balanced Nickel strings for bass guitar, a combination of traditional string materials and modern string design. Wound over a round steel core with a pure nickel (nickel 205) final cover, Balanced Nickels have the same number of wraps from string to string. This yields a tone that is deep but focused, with an extremely even response, no matter where you are on the fretboard. The end result is a balance between tension, flexibility, tonality and playability.
Why Should You Play Balanced Nickels?
- You want that vintage bass guitar sound, with a modern twist
- You're looking to unlock the full tonality of your bass
- You want the same tonality across the entire fretboard

Hey Bertrand, there are no plans for a 6st set. It is far more likely that we'll introduce a C string single, but it may be a bit. Because the Balanced Nickels are such a different beast in terms of construction, we want to make sure that the C string - whenever it comes out - is as tonally close as we can get.
Will you ever have a BEAD tuning set? I buy the BEAD tuning Bass Boomers (Medium-Light) for C Standard tuning and it would be great to do the same for these.
