ROCKTRONSETS - PRESSUREWOUND™ BRONZE
SETS - PRESSUREWOUND™ BRONZE
GHS Pressurewound Bronze strings are an exciting development for acoustic basses. For many years, players have loved the volume and tone of phosphor bronze on their acoustic bass guitars, but absolutely hated the string noise that resulted from it.
To address this, the phosphor bronze cover is run through precision rollers during the winding process, slightly flattening the wrap. This results in the first phosphor bronze bass string that does not have harsh and abrasive overtones and finger noise, just a smooth mid-focused sound. Add balanced construction and a round core into the equation for a truly unique acoustic bass sound.
Pressurewound Bronze are also designed in such a way that they also work well with electric basses.
Why Should You Play Pressurewound Bronze?
- You love the tone of phosphor bronze strings, but hate the noise
- You're looking for the clarity and nuance of your acoustic/electric bass
- You want a unique sounding bass string for your electric
RBB120 is available separately for 5 string sets

Hi folks. I’ve bought a Fender CB-60sce acoustic-electric bass (34” scale) that’s a lot of fun but needs to lose the stock strings it came with. They project well but are kinda buzzy, and produce a lot of finger noise - not that my technique has anything to do with it. I perform in an acoustic/Americana setting but wired to an amp; I guess you’d say I have a medium attack. Looking at the GHS Pressurewounds and want to learn whether I should a.) go with the bronze acoustic-electric or, as I’ve seen some folks do, try the Electric strings? And b.), what gauge? Appreciate any thoughts/advice. Thanks.
The 4 string set I have is incredible.
I would like to echo the opinions of others; more gauges!
I have a custom 7 string acoustic bass, 32-30” fanned fret that sounds unbelievable with these on. However, a 120 low B, even with the material adding more mass and therefore tension, is toooo small (even on a 34” in my opinion, let alone anything smaller).
I would give my right foot to be able to string my Acoustics, from 4 - 7, with these… and actually my electric 4 - 7 too.
I have a Fender Kingman acoustic bass, which came, I think, with Fender Phosphor Bronze Roundwound. I can't find any info about the string tension in that set, but should this be pretty comparable? I don't want to do anything damaging.
