Nickel-Plated Steel Bass Single Strings

The most popular wrap material: nickel-plated steel (aka NPS). This material was first used for guitar strings manufacture in the ‘40s when the price of nickel rocketed because of demand in the war. As the tone of electric guitar goes, nickel-plated steel happens to be slap-bang in the middle. It has the most balanced sound of all with good helpings of both fullness and clarity. NPS sets tend to be those that come with the adjective ‘versatile’ because, well, they are!
