Fender7250ML Super Bass Nickel-Plated Steel Long Scale Bass Strings - Medium Light
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Long-scale nickel-plated steel bass strings in a medium-light gauge. For 34-inch basses where you want lower tension than a standard set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard 34-inch scale four-string basses
- Players wanting easier bending and a lighter left-hand feel
- Fingerstyle and pick work that does not need heavy tension
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short-scale or 35-inch extra-long-scale basses
- Drop tunings that need heavier gauges to stay tight
- Players chasing the bright bite of pure stainless steel
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
Warmer and smoother under the fingers than stainless, brighter than pure nickel. The common middle-ground bass string.
Detail 03
Medium light gauge
Lower tension than a standard medium set. Easier fretting and bending, slightly less low-end punch and attack.
Detail 04
Roundwound construction
Textured outer wrap gives growl and finger noise; wears frets faster than flatwounds.
Detail 05
Four-string set
Covers E-A-D-G. A five-string bass will leave you without a B string.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your bass is 34-inch scale before ordering long-scale strings
- 02Lighter tension usually shifts neck relief; expect a truss rod tweak
- 03Pickup height and intonation may need adjusting after the gauge change
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my bass?
They fit standard 34-inch long-scale basses. Measure nut to bridge saddle first. Short-scale and 35-inch instruments need sets made for those lengths.
02How is medium light different from medium?
Thinner strings at lower tension. Fretting and bending take less effort, and the tone is a bit less thick and punchy than a standard medium set.
03Nickel-plated steel versus stainless?
Nickel-plated is warmer and smoother on the fingers. Stainless is brighter and more aggressive but harder on frets and fingertips.
04Do I need a setup after changing gauge?
Usually yes. Dropping to a lighter gauge reduces string pull on the neck, so relief and intonation typically drift and need resetting.
