Detail 01
Coated in Hi-Def green
The color comes from a coating over the wrap, which also slows the grime that dulls uncoated strings.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A five-string bass set with a bright green coating, in a light gauge. For players who want a visual effect alongside a slinky feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage players who want strings visible under lights
- Five-string players preferring lower tension
- Anyone who likes the look of coated strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Four-string basses — the B string has nowhere to go
- Players who dig in hard and want tight, stiff tension
- Anyone who wants strings that disappear visually
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
Light gauge
Less tension under the fingers. Easier bends and a looser feel, at the cost of some low-end punch.
Detail 03
5-string set
Includes the extra low B. The set is sized for a five-string nut and bridge spacing — not a four-string.
Detail 04
Light gauge on a low B
Lighter B strings can feel floppy on short scale-length instruments. Longer scale basses handle them better.
Detail 05
Coating on the wrap
Slightly smoother under the fingers than bare roundwound, with less fret noise when sliding.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your scale length — a light B needs enough length to stay tight
- 02Dropping to a lighter gauge usually means truss rod and intonation adjustment
- 03No winder, cutters, or setup tools included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the green color wear off?
The coating sits where your fingers and frets contact it, so it dulls at the wear points over time with play.
02Do these actually glow?
The coating is a bright, high-visibility green that reacts strongly under UV and stage lighting rather than glowing on its own.
03Will these fit a 4-string bass?
No. This is a five-string set with an extra low B and is spaced for a five-string instrument.
04Do I need a setup after installing these?
Likely yes if you're changing gauge. Lighter strings reduce neck tension, which affects relief, action, and intonation.
