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

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.

Jovan, it will not cause issues with the nut or tuning stability. I've done it many times (either for testing or real-life gigging situations) and those concerns don't exist. It is the same concern people have with our Precision Flats (that are also 38" winding length), but they are just fine.
