ROCKTRON4700 SET - SHORT SCALE BALANCED NICKELS
4700 SET - SHORT SCALE 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

Hi Michael, you're not going to have many options for a couple of reasons. First, there's very few HIgh C strings available as-is, and second, you're looking for a short scale option that fits a set of pure nickel strings. If you can find a .032 in a nickel-plated steel (or even a flatwound), I'd start there. Those are probably your best options.
Which diameter would provide a balanced tension with these for a high C string on my short-scale 5er?
