Optimized for ShortBass One Model 14

Specifications are carefully matched to the requirements of the ShortBass One 14 model, ensuring each string delivers balanced tension and a consistent feel.

• String Gauge: 2.00, 2.80, 3.40, 4.10 mm — tailored for optimal performance
• The set fits only 26.4" (67 cm) scale bass ukuleles for precise compatibility.
• Material: Nylgut & copper powder — delivers warmth, punch, and longevity

Enhanced Sound and Feel

Thanks to copper powder in the lower strings, reduced diameter increases both projection and playability. Smooth, slightly slippery surfaces make shifting positions easy, and the copper content boosts sustain and fullness.

• Sound is powerful, rich, and warm—closely imitating double bass timbre.
• Medium/regular tension encourages comfortable play and accurate intonation.
