Elites Groundwound Stainless Steel 45-105 Bass Guitar Strings, Long Scale
These are Bass Centre Elites Groundwound bass series. These are initially wound like round wound strings until the outer layer where about half of the wire diameter is ground down to a smooth, flat surface. These are designed for the bass player who wants a blend of the feel of flat wound strings and the bright sound and flexibility of round wound.
KIND TO YOUR FRETS, EASY ON THE FINGERS
A special roundwound string with a multi-layered wrap wire micro-ground to a precise gauge and smoothness.
Elites Groundwounds (aka “Halfrounds”) are made by grinding half of the outer windings of roundwound strings into a flat surface, creating a string with some tonal characteristics of Flatwounds but with the flexibility of roundwound bass strings – perfect for a bass player who wants a brighter sounding flat string.
Super-versatile, Elites Groundwounds are equally well-suited for any styles of music – Great for fretless and fretted instruments, they reduce wear on the fingerboard and frets yet still deliver a bright, upfront sound with less finger-noise and string-click.
