SUNBEAM™ Nickel Plated Bass Strings

Professor’s Notes
Sunbeams bring a unique feel and musicality to your bass—nickel roundwounds on a round core that feel smooth and supple under the fingers and sing with a rich, musical tone. They’re easy to play, full of character, and perfect when you want your lines to flow with warmth and groove. A customer favorite on vintage-style J and P basses.
