Been playing for over 50 years and have tried numerous sets of strings. The Burners are the best yet. Best sounding, best feel and long lasting.

Ken Smith Nickel Plated 5's

September 30, 2010

This is my first set of Bass Burners. I put these on a Peavey Wenge Cirrus 5. These strings have a very warm tone. The emphasis seems to excel in the low to low- mid range. For slappers and tappers the upper register isn't quite as pronounced as some other strings. Good string for solid bass playing. No matter the style of play, a warm tone is sure to be achieved.

NOTE	DESCRIPTION	DIAMETER INCHES	TENSION LBS
1^st G	Nickel Plated Steel Wound	.040
2^nd D	Nickel Plated Steel Wound	.060
3^rd A	Nickel Plated Steel Wound	.080
4^th E	Nickel Plated Steel Wound	.100
5^th B	Nickel Plated Steel Wound Taper Core	.120

Bass Burner NPS Series

The Bass Burners NPS, featuring our custom string design, is a round wound nickel plated steel string. These are the brightest nickel strings that you will find anywhere with the added advantage of longer fret life due to less fret wear than with normal steel strings. 38" winding length except .120 and .130 which are 36.5" winding length.
