GibsonLong Scale Brite Wire Electric Bass Strings Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The medium-gauge Brite Wire set is made for long-scale electric basses, combining a high-carbon steel hex core with nickel-plated steel windings. The core shape keeps the winding secure and is designed to extend string life through demanding practice. Nickel-plated windings deliver clear, full, loud notes, helping the bass remain present in home playing or louder band settings. This is the medium option within Gibson’s three-gauge Brite Wire range.
