Description

Fender 7250 Bass Strings are a nickel plated steel, long scale set designed for 5 string electric bass. With medium gauges from .045 to .125, they suit players who want a punchy, modern voice with enough warmth for everyday gigs and practice. The feel is familiar and comfortable under the fingers, making them a solid choice for rock, pop, funk and contemporary worship, as well as clear lines in jazz or theatre pits. Built to fit most 34 inch long scale 5 string basses, they deliver reliable performance and a responsive attack that cuts through the mix without sounding harsh or brittle.

Made with nickel plated steel wraps, this set blends articulate brightness with a smooth top end, helping your bass sit well in a band without excessive zing. The roundwound construction offers lively detail and a quick, dynamic response, while the even tension across the set keeps the feel consistent as you move around the neck. Compared with basic starter sets, these strings offer a more polished surface, improved note definition and dependable durability, so you spend more time playing and less time changing strings.

For lessons, rehearsals and regular practice in the UK, the 7250 set provides stable tuning and consistent intonation that teachers and students can trust. The medium gauges support solid technique development, from fingerstyle to slap, without feeling stiff or slowing progress. They are straightforward to fit on school instruments and perform well in ensemble settings, providing clarity for assessments and concerts. Offering strong value and reliable longevity, this set is a sensible upgrade for education settings and a dependable everyday choice for gigging players who need consistent tone session after session.

Long scale, 5 string medium gauges

Designed for most 34 inch long scale 5 string basses, the .045–.125 medium set provides a familiar feel and confident low B performance. The balanced progression of gauges supports even response across the fingerboard and a comfortable setup for varied playing styles.

Consistent tuning and intonation

Engineered for reliable pitch stability and accurate intonation, this set helps you lock in quickly and stay in tune through lessons, rehearsals and gigs. The predictable performance keeps practice focused and performances sounding tight.
