SETS - BEAD TUNED BASS BOOMERS®

Tuning a 4 String Bass BEAD (or, the lower 4 strings of a 5 string bass) is not a new development. However, players had to either purchase strings separately or a 5 string set and throw away the G string to be able to do this.

With the BEAD Tuned Bass Boomers® sets from GHS Strings, players can now buy the exact sets they want without the previous hassle.

WARNING: These sets are optimized for BEAD tuning on a 4 string bass. Do NOT attempt to tune these sets up to standard EADG tuning.

Comments
Don C.

Sure with these came in a length appropriate for the Ibanez MiKro bass.

Jonathan Moody

Hi Don, we don't make these in a scale length for the Ibanez MiKro. There hasn't been a demand for BEAD tuning on a short scale. 

Oscar Stern

Actually that would be rather interesting to have Short Scale BEAD Tuned Boomers & Flatwound Boomers too

Jonathan Moody

Hey Oscar, we do offer a short scale Low B in Bass Boomers, so players can put together a BEAD short scale set. It's just not available as a packaged option at this point.
