Independent shopping perspective
In the Groove Series, this 35–100 Extra Light electric-bass set pairs nickel-plated steel wire with a hand-wound, hexagonal high-carbon core. Markbass calibrates the diameters and tensions to address tone and feel together, and the sound target is a warm, traditional nickel character. It gives a player replacing strings a clearly identified extra-light gauge choice rather than a broader 40–100, 45–100, or 45–105 set.
