ThomastikAB346 Acousticore Phosphor-Bronze 6-String Bass Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A phosphor-bronze full set for six-string acoustic bass guitar. For players who already own a six-string and want all six replaced at once.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Six-string acoustic bass, low B through high C
- Full restrings rather than replacing one broken string
- Players who want even feel across all six strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Four- or five-string basses — you pay for unused strings
- Electric bass players relying on magnetic pickup output
- Anyone restringing cheaply; this is a premium set price
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
Six-string set
Covers the extra low and high outer strings. On a four- or five-string bass, the extras go unused.
Detail 03
Sold as a complete set
No singles here. If one string dies, you either replace all six or keep the rest as spares.
Detail 04
$209.95 per set
Cost per restring is high, so most players stretch change intervals and wipe strings down after playing.
Detail 05
Thomastik-made
Same house that makes their orchestral strings, so gauge and winding consistency across the set is the selling point.

Know before you order
- 01Strings only — no winder, cutters, or cleaning cloth

- 03Confirm your bass takes a six-string set before ordering
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a 5-string acoustic bass?
Only as a partial set. You would install five and hold one as a spare, which is an expensive way to buy strings.
02Can I use these on an electric bass?
Phosphor bronze is a non-magnetic-friendly acoustic material. Magnetic pickups respond poorly to it, so output and balance suffer.
03How many strings are in the pack?
Six — a complete set for a six-string acoustic bass.
04Why do these cost more than a regular bass set?
Six-string acoustic bass sets are a small niche with two extra strings per pack, so per-set pricing runs well above four-string sets.
