SIT 45-105 Electric Bass Guitar Power Wound Nickel 4 Strings
SIT NR45105L Power Wound Nickel Bass Strings – The Industry Standard for Versatile Tone
The SIT NR45105L Power Wound Nickel set is the most popular and widely used bass string series from S.I.T. (Stay-In-Tune) Strings—and for good reason. This 4-string Medium Light gauge set (.045, .065, .085, .105) delivers a perfect balance of punch, warmth, and clarity that works across all genres and playing styles.
Premium American Craftsmanship
Handcrafted one at a time in Akron, Ohio since 1980, each string features an 8% nickel-plated steel cover wrap over a high-carbon steel hexagonal core. This precision construction is achieved using SIT's revolutionary LevelWrap™ formula, which maintains exact tension throughout the winding process for optimal playability and tonal consistency.
Balanced, Punchy Tone for Any Style
The Power Wound Nickel series delivers a warm, punchy tone with clear highs, solid lows, and excellent sustain. The nickel-plated wrap provides a smooth feel that's easy on the fingers while contributing to the string's distinctive punch without sacrificing warmth. Beneath the cover wrap, the high-carbon steel hex core enhances stability, allowing the strings to withstand heavy playing while delivering a powerful low end that resonates with authority.
Long Scale Design for Standard Basses
The NR45105L set features a Long Scale "Live" winding length of 37.5 inches from the ball end to the taper past the nut, making them compatible with most standard 34" scale bass guitars. (Short Scale and Medium Scale versions are also available for shorter instruments.)
