Description
Flatwound bass strings have earned a permanent place in modern low-end tone, and this Jim Dunlop set shows exactly why. Gauged 45-65-85-105 for long scale 4-string bass, it’s a steel flatwound construction designed to capture the warmth and roundness that defined classic rock, funk, and soul recordings, while still keeping enough clarity for contemporary playing styles.
What makes this set versatile is the tonal range you get simply by adjusting your tone knob. Dial it up for a punchy, articulate attack with real definition, or roll it back for the deep, rounded thump that flatwounds are known for. Dunlop engineers each set for lower tension, giving you smoother playability across strings while keeping output and tone consistent from string to string.
These strings are part of Dunlop’s ground-up approach to string making. Rather than adapting existing formulas, the company builds every set from scratch, shaped by direct feedback from touring musicians. Production happens at their Benicia, California facility, where machines run at a deliberately slower pace to allow for smaller batches and tighter quality control at every stage. Each set is sealed in a protective bag to lock in freshness before it ever reaches your bass.
