Scaled to fit 1/4 size bass with a playing length of 35 1/2 inches (900mm), these medium tension strings are optimized for a majority of players. Prelude bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a warm tone quality with good bow response. The special core design and reduced tension creates strings that are very easy to play, especially for younger, developing players. Ideal for use in educational environments, Prelude bass strings maintain a clear, warm sound that blends well across the ensemble.
