Rotosound UltraMag Type 52 Alloy Bass Strings 4-String Long Scale 45-105 | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls


The Rotosound UltraMag Type 52 Alloy Bass Strings deliver the big volume, powerful output, and long sustain that tone-driven bassists have been chasing — engineered around a special Type 52 nickel/steel alloy winding with a higher magnetic content than conventional bass strings. The result is a string that produces noticeably more power and presence through your pickups, with improved tuning stability and outstanding corrosion resistance that keeps them performing longer than standard roundwounds. Whether you're driving a mix from the low end or cutting through with a slap or fingerstyle lead line, the UltraMag set gives you the output and sustain to make every note count.

Product Overview

The defining characteristic of the UltraMag series is Rotosound's proprietary Type 52 alloy — a specialized nickel/steel blend formulated with a higher magnetic content than standard nickel-plated steel winding wire. Higher magnetic content means your pickups capture more of the string's vibration, translating directly into increased output, fuller volume, and extended sustain that conventional strings simply can't match on the same instrument with the same setup.

The Type 52 alloy also contributes to superior tuning stability, with the string maintaining consistent pitch under the demands of active playing, aggressive technique, and the natural tension fluctuations of a live performance environment. The corrosion-resistant properties of the alloy extend the usable life of each set, making the UltraMag a smart long-term investment for gigging and touring bassists who go through strings regularly.

Roundwound construction over a steel core delivers the articulate, bright character that working bassists rely on for cut and definition, while the medium gauge (.045–.105) provides the balanced tension and low-end body that suits the widest range of playing styles and bass setups. Bassists at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls who want more from their strings — more power, more volume, more sustain — consistently find that the Rotosound UltraMag delivers where standard strings fall short.

Ideal For

  • Bassists seeking maximum output, volume, and sustain from a string with higher magnetic content than conventional nickel roundwounds
  • Gigging and touring musicians who need corrosion-resistant strings with reliable tuning stability through long sets and demanding road schedules
  • Fingerstyle and slap players who want more power and presence cutting through a full band mix
  • Medium gauge players looking for an upgrade over standard nickel-plated steel strings in output and string longevity
  • Any bassist ready to hear what a high-magnetic-content alloy string can do for their tone and sustain

Key Features

Type 52 Nickel/Steel Alloy Winding Rotosound's proprietary Type 52 alloy features a higher magnetic content than standard nickel-plated steel, increasing the amount of string vibration your pickups capture for greater output, fuller volume, and extended sustain on every note.

Higher Output and Sustain The elevated magnetic properties of the Type 52 winding translate directly into more power and presence through your bass's pickups — delivering a noticeable improvement in volume and note sustain without any changes to your amp or signal chain.

Superior Tuning Stability The Type 52 alloy construction maintains consistent pitch under aggressive playing and the natural tension changes of live performance, keeping your bass in tune through long sets and demanding playing situations.

Ultra-Resistant to Corrosion The inherent corrosion resistance of the Type 52 alloy extends the life of each string set, making the UltraMag a durable, cost-effective choice for players who demand reliable performance over the long haul.

Medium Gauge (.045–.105) The medium gauge delivers the balanced tension, full low-end body, and comfortable playability that suits the broadest range of bass styles and setups — from fingerstyle and slap to pick playing and beyond.
