These are the strings we ship on our new basses. We love how the elliptical wrap reduces fretting hand noise on our sensitive instruments. They also have great tone - not too bright since our basses are very responsive in the upper frequencies. CX-3 strings can be used on any bass where a flexible sounding string is required. Suitable for both fretted and fretless instruments. CX-3 Short CX-3 4-string CX-3 5-string CX-3 6-string
