SETS - PRESSUREWOUND™

GHS Strings Brightness Bar for Bass Guitar Strings


If you love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise that accompanies them, look to Pressurewounds. Starting with a hex core, we slightly flatten a nickel-iron (Alloy 52™) wire as the string is wound. This gives you an incredibly articulate string that will run the gamut from motown to progressive, while keeping your finger noise to a minimum.

The rollerwinding leaves a slick feel to the strings, that is also ideal for fretless bass. Fretless players love how Pressurewounds retain that signature "mwah" tone, while going easy on their fingerboards.

Why Should You Play Pressurewounds?

  • You're looking for a deep tone, complete with punch and dynamics
  • You love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise
  • You want a long lasting string with plenty of tonality

I first came across Pressurewound 30 years ago. I have not used anything else since. they are great. now I’ve convinced a pro bassist friend to try a set. 

Now I’ve bought a 5 string Jazz, and you don’t stock a ML 5 string set. all you’d have to do is make a B string at .124 or so. :)

Hi Graham-did you see the M7200-5?  Pressurewound 5 string set, B is a .128

Pressure wounds are the best strings I have found. It was an expensive and thorough search.

James-we are glad you like the pressure wounds, thank you for the positive feedback!

I've used hex and round core boomers before, and this is my first set of pressurewounds.  So far so good, I'm really impressed with them.

I can't even work out how long I have been using your Pressurewound strings, professionally,  on my basses, but it would be well over 30 years ! They are perfect for me in every detail ! Thankyou GHS !

"Thumper"

The M7200 set I just got for my new Lakland 44-01 just doesn't give me the "feel" I'm seeking. So I would like to order a set of ML7200.

 

Thanks Jon
