ThomastikIN344 Superalloy 4-String Bass Long Scale - (45-105)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Long-scale 45-105 bass strings from Thomastik's Superalloy line. A medium-gauge set for four-string players wanting a bright, even response.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard four-string basses with a 34-inch scale
- Players who want a bright top end without a heavy set
- Restringing a main bass with a familiar medium gauge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short-scale or 30-inch basses — the winding will land wrong
- Five-string players needing a low B
- Anyone chasing thumpy, dark flatwound tone
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
Long scale
Cut for 34-inch basses. On a shorter neck the silk or taper can end up over the nut or saddle.
Detail 03
Superalloy winding
Roundwound-style brightness with a defined attack — fingerstyle and pick both cut through a mix.
Detail 04
Four-string set
E-A-D-G only. A five-string bass needs a different set or a separate low B.
Detail 05
$82.50
Priced well above budget sets, so this is a set you buy for feel and longevity, not for stocking spares.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your scale length before ordering — long scale will not fit short-scale basses
- 02Fresh strings change relief and intonation; expect a truss rod and saddle check
- 03One set only, no spare strings included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my 34-inch scale bass?
Yes. Long scale is cut for standard 34-inch four-string basses.
02Are these flatwound or roundwound?
This is the Superalloy line — a bright, wound set with roundwound character rather than a smooth flatwound feel.
03Is 45-105 a light or heavy gauge?
Medium. It is the most common four-string bass gauge and matches what most basses ship with.
04Do I need a setup after fitting them?
Check intonation and neck relief. If your old set was the same gauge, adjustment is usually minor.
