Stringjoy Signature Nickel Roundwound 5-String Bass Guitar Strings - Light Long Scale .045-.130 | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

Stringjoy Signature Nickel Roundwound 5-String Bass Strings are professionally optimized for long-scale 5-string bass, delivering a full, balanced tone with plenty of low-end resonance and a mellow, smooth top end that sits naturally in any mix. Built on a hexagonal steel core and wrapped in nickel-plated steel, this light-gauge set gives extended-range bassists the punch and depth they need without sacrificing the comfortable feel required for demanding stage and studio work. Handcrafted in Nashville since 2014, Stringjoy Signatures represent a genuine step up from off-the-rack string packs — and your low B will thank you for it.

Product Overview

Stringjoy constructs the Signatures with a round-wound, nickel-plated steel exterior over a rock-solid hexagonal steel core, a combination that produces consistent tension across all five strings and a rich, full-bodied tone with balanced response from the high G down to the low B. The hex core increases contact between the core and winding, resulting in more stable intonation, reduced dead spots, and a firm, responsive feel that holds up under aggressive playing and position shifts across the full neck.

The nickel-plated steel winding strikes the ideal tonal balance between the warmth of pure nickel and the articulation of stainless steel, producing a full, even sound that integrates naturally into a band mix without getting too bright or too muddy. The round wound surface delivers the classic electric bass texture and harmonic complexity that players expect, with a natural feel under the fingers for both fingerstyle and pick technique.

The light gauge (.045–.130) is optimized to give 5-string players a comfortable, responsive feel without sacrificing the weight and authority the low B demands. The .130 B string provides solid fundamental response and clear definition even at lower tunings, while the lighter upper strings remain easy to play and expressive across the entire range of the instrument. These are uncoated strings, built to Stringjoy's exacting manufacturing standards for tone and longevity that outperform most competing uncoated sets.

Ideal For

• 5-string bass players seeking nickel roundwound bass strings with full, balanced tone and a responsive light gauge feel
• Stage and studio bassists who need consistent performance across all five strings, including a well-defined, authoritative low B

• Musicians looking for the best American-made 5-string bass strings crafted to professional performance standards
• Bassists upgrading from generic string packs who want handcrafted quality and consistent tension from set to set

Key Features

Hexagonal Steel Core

The hex core wire foundation increases the winding's grip on the core, producing tighter, more consistent string tension across all five strings. This translates to predictable intonation, reduced dead spots, and a stable, responsive feel that holds up under the demands of extended-range playing.

Nickel-Plated Steel Winding

Nickel-plated steel delivers a tonally balanced character — warmer and smoother than stainless steel, with more brightness and note definition than pure nickel. The result is a full, present tone across all five strings, with a mellow top end and strong low-end resonance that sits evenly in any mix.

Light Gauge with .130 Low B (.045–.130)

This light gauge set provides comfortable tension on the upper strings while the .130 low B delivers the firm, defined fundamental response that 5-string players rely on. The graduation across all five strings is carefully calibrated for even feel and consistent volume from G to B.

Nashville Handcrafted Quality

Stringjoy has built every set in Nashville since founding the world's first true custom string shop in 2014. The attention to detail at every stage of production results in strings that sound fuller, perform more reliably, and outlast mass-produced alternatives — set after set.

Optimized for Long-Scale 5-String Bass

Cut specifically for long-scale (34") 5-string bass guitars, the Signatures ensure proper winding on all five tuning posts, stable intonation across the full neck, and consistent tension performance without the compromises that come from using a string set designed for a different scale or string count.
