## Description

desertcart.com: GHS Strings 5M-DYB 5-String Bass Boomers, Nickel-Plated Electric Bass Strings, Long Scale, Medium (45-130) : Everything Else

Review: Light Strings Are Great! - I was not sure about strings this light, but decided to try a set and I am very happy I did. They are so easy to play, fast passages and bends are a breeze. As for the tone I was expecting them to sound thin and weak, but that was not the case at all. There is plenty of low end punch with the same high end zing that I always loved from Boomers. They sound just as good as heavier strings, I honestly could hardly believe it. I stopped playing bass and starting playing guitar for about 6-7 years; recently have picked up the bass again. After being used to guitar strings I found it hard to play the 45-105 or 45-100 strings I used before. This set is a pleasure to play. It is so easy on the fretting hand, and I have developed a much lighter touch with my plucking hand and this has helped me a great deal. I feel like my playing has improved noticeably. I love these strings, I wish I would have tried this gauge years ago. UPDATE:I loved the way the strings sounded and felt on my Jazz bass with passive SD Quarter Pound pickups. The only downside is the strings went dead quicker than most. They only lasted about 2 months, which is not that long compared to most strings. I also bought a set for my new bass, a Ibanez SR with active electronics, and I did not like them on that bass. They were lacking in midrange punch and I couldn't get the action adjusted the way I like it. I took them off the SR after a couple of days and got a set of 95-40 Boomers. The 95's are still pretty light but still sound like a bass should. I don't think I will ever go back to the 105 strings I used to play.
Review: Quality Bass Strings at a Low Price - I've been using GHS bass strings since 1989, I have always been pleased with the quality and the low price. I use the extra light gauge strings because they suit my playing style, and they sound more like a bass should sound when compared to piccolo bass strings. In all of the years I've been using GHS bass strings, I can only remember breaking one string... And that's saying something, because I play fairly aggressively with a 1.25mm pick.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love GHS! on all my basses
*by W***Z on September 12, 2019*

I love GHS, Not just because I am supporting a Michigan company, it's simply because these strings are awesome! previously I had the medium light set, but I play pretty hard when I am on stage...adrenalin and stuff ya know! I moved up to the mediums #M3045 and they are the perfect tension for rock type music. I like to finger pluck a higher tensioned string, and if you investigate their tension charts, this M3045 set has one of the highest tension ratings for a medium gage roundwounds (before you start going up into the heavy gage .110s and high tension flats) They are not super twangy bright like some stainless steel strings, this nickel is just the right sound. you can roll on/off your tone knob to get exactly what you need! All my basses have these. Love these strings!!!
