The GHS Bass Boomers are the classic "Power String" and they have been for years. Today they are one of the most popular bass strings in the world and are used by bass greats including the legendary Flea.

**PLEASE NOTE** THESE ARE AN EXTRA-LONG SCALE SET OF STRINGS.
THIS STRING MEASURES 38"/96.5cm FROM THE BALL END TO THE START OF THE SILK WINDING.
Gauge L3045X - 40, 55, 75, 95.
Made in the USA
We insist that players use the measurement of ball-end (anchor) to top nut of their current set of strings. This measurement is more accurate than scale length as it takes into account through-body stringing, and more complex or alternative bridges. In many cases the set of strings required will be longer than the bass’s stated scale length! Use these references:
If ball-end-to-nut length is:
Up to 32” choose Short Scale
32”-34” choose Medium Scale
34”-36” choose Long Scale
36”-38” choose Extra/Super Long Scale
If you have a bass where you cannot see the ball-end i.e. a thru-body bass, you will have to measure your string once it has been removed. Before removing the string be sure to make a mark on the string with a permanent marker just behind the nut so you know where to measure to. Then once you’ve taken it off the bass, you can measure from the ball-end to the mark you made on the string.
