Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Five-string bass set with UV-reactive coating in medium gauge. For bassists who want a low B and a visible string under stage lighting.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string players needing a defined low B
- Stage bassists using UV or blacklight rigs
- Players who sweat through uncoated sets quickly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Four-string basses — the fifth string won't fit
- Players wanting the loosest, easiest-bending feel
- Anyone who wants strings to 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
Medium gauge
Enough tension to keep the low B from feeling floppy, at the cost of a stiffer feel across the whole set.
Detail 03
Coated string
The coating slows corrosion from sweat and skin oils, so the set keeps its brightness longer than a bare one.
Detail 04
Neon Hi-Def color
Color lives in the coating, so it survives normal picking and slapping rather than rubbing off at the contact points.
Detail 05
Bass guitar strings
Longer and thicker than guitar strings. Check your bass's scale length before assuming they'll fit.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your bass is strung through-body or through-bridge — it changes required string length.
- 02Strings only. No setup tools or winder included.
- 03A gauge change on a five-string often needs nut slot and truss rod attention.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a 35-inch scale bass?
Check the set's stated length against your bass. Longer-scale and through-body basses need more length than standard 34-inch top-load setups.
02Can I use these on a four-string?
You'd be paying for a fifth string you don't need. A dedicated four-string set is the better buy.
03Does the coating hurt slap tone?
Coated bass strings usually sound slightly less zingy than fresh bare ones, but hold that sound far longer through sweaty sets.
04Do the strings actually glow?
Under UV or blacklight, yes. In normal light they read as bright green.
