Gibson Short Scale Brite Wire Electric Bass Strings Medium

The Gibson Short Scale Brite Wire Electric Bass Strings use a high-carbon steel core shaped like a hexagon. This core makes each string strong and helps them last longer, even if you play hard or often. Nickel-plated steel is wound tightly around the core, so the strings sound loud and keep ringing after you hit a note. Gibson’s luthiers in Nashville designed and tested these strings, making sure every detail helps your bass sound clear and punchy. Two gauge sets are available: light (.045, .065, .085, .105) and medium (.050, .070, .085, .105). This means you can pick how heavy or light your strings feel. The short scale design fits basses with shorter necks, giving you easy playability and strong tone.

Gibson Build Adds Power and Lasts Longer

Bass players who want clear sound and tough strings will notice the difference. The hex core gives each string extra snap, so notes sound strong and clear. Nickel-plated steel makes the strings feel smooth and helps them keep ringing out. If you switch between different styles, these strings let you play loud or soft and still sound solid. The shorter scale fits basses with a smaller neck, so hands can move faster and fret changes feel easy. Using Gibson’s short scale set helps your bass stay in tune and makes every note count when you play in a group or at home.
