Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two sets of roundwound bass strings in one package. For bassists who restring often and want a spare set ready without reordering.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging bassists who break or dull strings regularly
- Players restringing two basses at once
- Stocking a backup set before a tour or session
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer flatwound thump and reduced finger noise
- Fretless bass owners concerned about roundwound fretboard wear
- Anyone needing a single set only — a 2-pack costs more upfront

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
2-pack
Two complete sets in one box. Lower per-set cost, but only if you use both.
Detail 03
Bass guitar strings
Built for bass scale length and tension. Not interchangeable with guitar sets.
Detail 04
Four-string set
Covers standard E-A-D-G. A five-string bass needs a dedicated set with a low B.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your bass is 4-string — this set does not include a low B
- 02Check your scale length before ordering; strings must reach past the nut
- 03Store the spare set sealed; unwrapped strings can oxidize before use
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between roundwound and flatwound?
Roundwound has a ridged outer winding, giving brighter tone and more growl. Flatwound is smooth, with a darker thump and far less finger noise.
02Will these fit a 5-string bass?
No. This is a four-string set covering E-A-D-G. A five-string bass needs a set that includes the low B string.
03Do roundwounds wear fretboards?
On a fretless bass, the textured winding can groove an uncoated fretboard over time. On a fretted bass this is not a concern.
04Is the 2-pack cheaper than buying twice?
The per-set cost is lower than two single sets. It only saves money if you will actually use the second set.
