GibsonShort Scale Brite Wire Electric Bass Strings Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson’s medium Brite Wire set is a short-scale electric bass replacement set in .050, .070, .085 and .105 gauges. Its high-carbon hexagonal steel core is paired with tightly wound nickel-plated steel. Gibson associates that build with strength for hard or frequent playing, plus clear, punchy notes that keep ringing. Select it when your instrument needs short-scale strings and you prefer the medium option over the available light gauge set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing strings on a short-scale electric bass with Gibson’s medium .050–.070–.085–.105 gauge set.
- Frequent or hard playing where Gibson’s high-carbon steel core construction is desired.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Basses that do not require a short-scale string set.
- Players who prefer Gibson’s available light .045–.065–.085–.105 gauge configuration.
