Detail 01
Twin-pack
Two full sets, not a double-length single set. Per-set cost lands well below buying twice separately.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two identical sets of nickel-wound bass strings in one box. For players who go through strings often and want the cost per set down.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bassists who restring every few weeks and buy in advance
- Gigging players wanting a backup set in the gig bag
- Keeping a spare set on hand for a snapped string
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players still deciding which gauge or brand suits them
- Anyone with a five- or six-string bass
- Guitarists — these are bass scale and gauge only
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nickel-wound roundwound
The standard bass string finish. Bright attack with growl, and it grips fretwire more than flats do.
Detail 03
Four-string set
Covers E-A-D-G. A five-string bass needs a separate B, which is not in this package.
Detail 04
EXL165 gauge pairing
Light top strings over heavier bottom strings. Easier bending up high, tighter low end on E.
Detail 05
Sealed packaging per set
The unopened second set will not corrode on the shelf while you play the first.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your bass scale length; long-scale strings will not fit a short-scale bass.
- 02No tools included. You need a winder and cutters to change strings.
- 03Roundwound strings wear frets faster than flatwounds over years of play.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many sets are in the twin-pack?
Two complete four-string sets. Each is packaged separately, so the second stays sealed until you need it.
02Will these fit a 5-string bass?
No. This is a four-string set covering E, A, D and G. A five-string needs an added low B, sold separately.
03Are these good for slap bass?
Roundwound nickel strings give the bright snap slap playing relies on. The lighter top gauges also pop easily.
04Do I need to trim the strings?
Yes. Cut each string a few inches past its tuning post before winding, or the excess will not seat cleanly.
