Detail 01
Phosphor bronze
Warmer and darker than 80/20 bronze, and the phosphor content slows corrosion so tone holds longer.

Fender7060 Phospor Bronze Acoustic Bass Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Phosphor bronze strings for acoustic bass guitar. For acoustic bass players who want a warm, broken-in tone rather than bright zing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing an acoustic or acoustic-electric bass
- Unplugged playing where warmth matters more than attack
- Players who dislike the metallic edge of fresh bronze
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Electric bass — magnetic pickups need steel or nickel
- Upright bass, which uses entirely different strings
- Slap players wanting maximum brightness and snap
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
Acoustic bass scale
Cut long enough for acoustic bass. Check your scale length and string-through path before ordering.
Detail 03
Bronze alloy wrap
Bronze is not magnetic, so a magnetic pickup will barely hear these. Piezo systems read them fine.
Detail 04
Four-string set
Standard EADG. Five-string basses need an added low B sold separately.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Acoustic bass strings are long — verify your instrument's scale length first
- 02Bronze does not drive magnetic pickups; piezo undersaddle systems work normally
- 03Stretch each string by hand after fitting to shorten the settling period
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these work on an electric bass?
No. Bronze is not magnetic, so an electric bass with magnetic pickups will produce almost no output. Use nickel or stainless steel strings there.
02How do phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze differ?
Phosphor bronze is warmer and darker with a longer-lasting tone. 80/20 is brighter and more scooped when new but dulls faster.
03Does this include a low B string?
No. This is a four-string EADG set for a standard acoustic bass.
04Will these work with my pickup system?
Yes, if your acoustic bass uses a piezo or undersaddle pickup, which senses vibration rather than magnetism.
