using flatwound black nylon ribbon, our Tru Bass strings have been embraced by players of all styles.
Originally conceived by James How to be fitted to the Burns Black Bison bass, Tru Bass strings may be 
the nearest you will ever get to a double bass tone from an electric bass.

conventional amplifier and yet offers a sound so reminiscent of its much larger brother.
