GHS Strings Brite Flats Bass Guitar Strings

When you are looking for “Motown with an Attitude,” GHS Brite Flats™ get the call. We take a highly magnetic nickel-iron alloy (Alloy 52), wind it over a hex core and then grind it smooth. This gives you a string that feels like a flatwound, but sounds closer to a roundwound with a mellow sound that is tightly defined.

Why Should You Play Brite Flats?

  • You want that vintage thump, but a brighter and more modern sound too
  • You want an edge to your dark tonality, to cut through "just enough"
  • You like tight definition and sustain with low action

      Can I check that the low B is also 38" please, and do these sets have silks at BOTH ends?

        Hi Gareth, the B is a 38" wind.  The string is silked on the tapered end only.

          the medium-scale light gauge best fits a modern Hofner reissue, correct? or would the short-scale set be better?

            Thanks for checking in Michael, the medium scale is your best bet.

              I have really been through the wringer finding the right strings for my '81 Gibson RD Artist bass to set it up in BEAD. 34.5" scale, but juust under a 38" wind and throughbody bridge. I've tried Labella and then DR flatwounds--neither fit (I can make the DRs sort of work by shaving back the silk at the nut). Are the M3075-5 ACTUALLY a 38" wind? It turned out the DR Legends were actually like 37 1/4. Also, any issue with these and running throughbody? It's not a 90-degree angle, more like a 45.

                The M3075-5 set will work.  All strings are wound 38" from ball end to taper.  Installing through the body will not be a problem.

                  What you are describing (pressure on the nut from the string) is a result of the angle of the string, and not the string itself. A headstock that isn’t properly designed with the angles for strings will have this issue, no matter what gauge you put on it. You’ll have a bigger problem with an improperly cut nut or a G string angle (as that string has typically more tension than the E). 

                  Your concerns about breaking a nut are warranted. But, it’s not due to the string wrapping around the tuner.
