SETS - PRESSUREWOUND™

If you love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise that accompanies them, look to Pressurewounds. Starting with a hex core, we slightly flatten a nickel-iron (Alloy 52™) wire as the string is wound. This gives you an incredibly articulate string that will run the gamut from motown to progressive, while keeping your finger noise to a minimum.

The rollerwinding leaves a slick feel to the strings, that is also ideal for fretless bass. Fretless players love how Pressurewounds retain that signature "mwah" tone, while going easy on their fingerboards.

Why Should You Play Pressurewounds?

You're looking for a deep tone, complete with punch and dynamics
You love the sound of roundwound strings, but not the finger noise
You want a long lasting string with plenty of tonality

Am a 60 year bassist, and can get just about any sound from any bass. The one tool I've been missing, but no longer, are the GHS Pressure Wounds. Welcome to my tool box.

I first came across Pressurewound 30 years ago. I have not used anything else since. they are great. now I’ve convinced a pro bassist friend to try a set.

Now I’ve bought a 5 string Jazz, and you don’t stock a ML 5 string set. all you’d have to do is make a B string at .124 or so. :)

Pressure wounds are the best strings I have found. It was an expensive and thorough search.

I can't even work out how long I have been using your Pressurewound strings, professionally, on my basses, but it would be well over 30 years ! They are perfect for me in every detail ! Thankyou GHS !
