Stringjoy 5-string bass strings are roundwound from American nickel-plated steel windings and hexagonal steel core wire. They have a full, resonant low end and a medium top end—not too bright, not too mellow — giving these strings a balanced sonic profile with optimum output.
Our Long Scale Nickel-Plated Steel Roundwound 5-string bass strings have a taper at 37.1" from the ball end. This is the ideal taper-length for all 34″ and most non-string-thru 35″ scale basses.

I had been using Elrick nickel wound strings for a few years, and Dave recommended I give these new Stringjoy Nickel strings a try. They have the same slick feel under my fingers that I look for, and have a nice clear tone with good sustain. They feel like they’re higher tension under my fingers than the other strings I’ve tried, which I don’t mind much as it lets me play lighter while still getting lots of tone.
I’d recommend giving these a try if you like the slick feel of nickels!
