Designed for superior tuning stability and powerful sound, these strings eliminate pre-stretching and reduce slip and twist during play, making them the go-to choice for serious bass ukulele players seeking professional-grade performance and durability. ## Description "AQUILA 68U THUNDERGUT - BASS UKULELE STRING SET - GDAE TUNING The Italian string manufacturer Aquila attaches great importance to tradition, but at the same time it develops its own materials, which offer advantages in everyday use. These strings convince by their tone, stability and intensity. Thundergut is a special, very dense and elastic synthetic compound that enables a far better performance than conventional polyurethane and silicone rubber strings. Thundergut strings are characterized by their fast and stable intonation. Very powerful sound. During tuning there is no excessive stretching of the strings, so they can be directly wound, eliminating the annoying pre-stretching that is common with traditional polyurethane and silicone rubber strings. Compared to silicone rubber, the strings are less "sticky"and are not too slippery. Furthermore, the strings do not twist as easily during playing as comparable strings made of polyurethane. FEATURES: - 1x String Set 68U ThunderGut Bass Ukulele - Tuning: GDAE - Scale: (18"-21") - All 4 strings from THUNDERGUT - Strings specially designed for Kala U-Bass and Ashbory Bass" Review: Great strings, better than what you have if you don't have these. And if you have a Rumbler, you're gonna want to read this. - No point reviewing guitar strings - everyone has their favorites anyway. Well, maybe balanced tensions. But these are objectively better than what come on a Kala Rumbler Ubass. The tuning stability is far better now. My only complaint is with the Rumbler not having a backplate for restringing, which means my fourth string now has a nick in it from desperately sliding it around trying to find the freaking hole before I figured out the better way to do it. Thus the point of the review, for anyone with a Rumbler: The strings come knotted on one end. Knot the other end, then unknot the pre-knotted end, saving the little plastic ring on it, and slip it through the hole on top. It's much easier to get the string to come out of the soundhole than to come out of the tiny string hole. Grab it through the soundhole - some hooking tool, even just a pen or a marker with a bent clip, is helpful. Pull it up through the soundhole all the way, so the knot you made is what's holding it. This way, no part of the string you'll actually be touching when playing has anything rubbing against it forcefully. Slip the plastic ring back on and reknot it, using pliers to pull it very, very tight. Use force, and try to get the knot to rest in the same position as before if possible. Which can be a bit tricky. Then pull the string back up and string it, and the only nicked bits should be bits that don't matter. I should really buy another set now that I figured that method out, 'cause otherwise I'll be stuck with a nicked string forever, as these things, like nylon strings, last for freaking ever. Except there's no wound bits for grime to get stuck in, so even longer than that. Review: Homemade Bass Uke - I put these strings on a 1/2 size classical guitar that I converted in a bass uke. They work great! I'm very happy with the feel and sound of them. I did have a little trouble installing them as per the instructions. The lowest string didn't to be stretched as indicated. ## Features - FOR YOU: 1 Set Aquila 68U ThunderGut Bass Ukulele Strings 4-String - YOUR USE: All 4 strings from THUNDERGUT - YOUR PERFORMANCE: Stable intonation - Very powerful sound - BEST QUALITY: Made in Italy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007TI9NZY | | Best Sellers Rank | #41,998 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #282 in Ukulele Accessories | | Body Material Type | Nylon | | Brand | AQUILA CORDE ARMONICHE | | Brand Name | AQUILA CORDE ARMONICHE | | Coating Description | Thundergut Cover | | Color | Yellow brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 166 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08052405532350 | | Hand Orientation | Both | | Included Components | 4 Strings | | Instrument | bass ukulele | | Item Type Name | Strings for bass ukulele | | Manufacturer | Aquila Strings | | Manufacturer Part Number | 68U | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | ThunderGut | | Model Number | STAQUIL-53235 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | playing bass ukulele | | Set Name | Set of 4 | | Sound Profile | Very powerful sound | | String Gauge | Medium | | UPC | 133587260328 | | Unit Count | 4 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aquila - **String Gauge:** Medium - **Color:** Yellow brown - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Playing Bass Ukulele, Kala U-Bass, or Ashbory Bass ## Images ![Aquila 68U Bass Ukulele Strings Thundergut, GDAE, Tuning Stability [Set of 4] White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DxrR-ij6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings, better than what you have if you don't have these.

They work great! I'm very happy with the feel and sound of them. I did have a little trouble installing them as per the instructions. The lowest string didn't to be stretched as indicated. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the Silicone Strings *by L***Y on June 5, 2017* Ummm....well, this is my first purchase of these, and I'm new to the Ashbory bass, so I really have nothing to compare them to, other than they are easier to play than the regular silicone strings that come with an Ashbory. They take a LONG time to tune and stabilize, so be patient! I do wish they came in black instead of white...they look kinda hokey. But that's just me being nitpicky. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aquila Strings for bass Ukulele (STAQUIL-53235) - Aquila Strings for bass Ukulele, Black (AQ-BUB 140U) - Silver-Plated Nylon Core Round Wound U•BASS® 4-String Set by Kala, Warm Booming Tone, Lower Tension for Smooth Playability, Not for Solid Body --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/5903114-aquila-68u-bass-ukulele-strings-thundergut-gdae-tuning-stability-set](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/5903114-aquila-68u-bass-ukulele-strings-thundergut-gdae-tuning-stability-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
