Pyramid Gold Chrome Nickel Flatwound Electric Bass Strings
$99.00
Part of Pyramid’s vintage-inspired “Beatle Bass” collection, these Gold Chrome Nickel Flatwound bass strings deliver the classic tone of the 1950s and ’60s. They combine warm clarity with a smooth playing feel, making them ideal for both retro and modern bass setups.
Key features & highlights:
- Chrome-nickel plated flatwrap wire over steel core, offering crisp dynamics, vintage warmth, and strong magnetic response
- Flatwound construction reduces finger noise and allows lower action settings
- Available in Short Scale (.040-.100), a perfect match for Hofner 500/1 “Beatle Bass” instruments
- Also offered in Medium and Long Scale sets to suit various bass lengths
Tone & usage notes:
These strings shine when you want a vintage voice, think old-school rock and Motown character, while still being playable in modern contexts. On fretless, they lean toward an upright bass coloration thanks to their smooth wrap and stable tension.
