SIT Power Wound Nickel Bass 5 String Set

SIT Power Wound Nickel Bass 5 consistently remained the top choice for bassists worldwide, thanks to their exceptional quality and versatility. These 5 string round wounds have earned a well-deserved reputation as the industry standard.

Crafted with meticulous precision, each string is expertly wound using their revolutionary SIT Level Wrap formula. This innovative technique ensures that the cover wrap maintains an exact tension throughout the entire string-making process. By meticulously controlling the tension, SIT Strings guarantee optimal playability and tonal consistency.

Power Wound strings feature a cover wrap that is 8% Nickel-plated steel. Giving you a great feeling on all of the strings. This not only enhances the string’s longevity, but also contributes to its distinctive punchy tone. Without losing any warmth. Beneath the cover wrap lies a high carbon steel hex core, which forms the backbone of the string. This high-quality core further enhances the string’s stability, allowing it to withstand the rigors of heavy playing while delivering a powerful low end that resonates with depth and authority.
