ROCKTRONSETS - BASS BRITE FLATS™
Overview
SETS - BASS BRITE FLATS™
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

Comments
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.
