Detail 01

Fender7250M Super Bass Nickel-Plated Steel Long Scale Bass Strings - Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nickel-plated steel roundwound set for long-scale bass. Medium gauge, bright attack, standard choice for fingerstyle and pick players alike.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard 34-inch scale basses in standard tuning
- Rock, funk and pop where you want string definition
- Pick players who need attack to cut through a mix
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short-scale basses — the winding length won't line up
- Players who want dark, thumpy, upright-style tone
- Fretless necks, where roundwounds chew the fingerboard
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-plated steel
Steel brightness with a nickel outer layer. More cut and growl than pure nickel, easier on frets than stainless.
Detail 03
Roundwound construction
Textured winding gives the bright, growly attack most modern bass tones are built on. Also causes finger squeak.
Detail 04
Medium gauge
Firm enough to dig in with a pick or slap without going floppy. Stiffer under the left hand than lights.
Detail 05
$29.99 per set
Mid-market pricing. Bass strings last far longer than guitar strings, so cost per month is low.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your scale length first — short-scale basses need a different set
- 02Switching gauge means resetting intonation and often the truss rod
- 03String set only. No winder, cutters or cleaning cloth
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?
Long-scale sets are cut for 34-inch instruments. On a 35-inch neck, especially string-through, check the winding length before committing.
02How many strings are in the set?
Confirm the string count matches your bass before ordering — four, five and six-string basses each need their own set.
03Nickel-plated or stainless steel?
Nickel-plated is warmer and gentler on frets. Stainless is brighter and more abrasive. This set is the middle-ground option.
04Can I use these on a fretless bass?
You can, but roundwound texture wears grooves into an uncoated fingerboard. Flatwounds are the safer choice there.
