Newburgh, NY (Jan 16, 2012) -- After the success ofh the Super Alloy 52 Series for electric guitar, La Bella Strings is adding four new electric bass guitar sets to the series.
The Super Alloy 52 Series strings are both bright and tarnish-proof. The design of the outer wrap contains a high-iron content (48%). This increases the strings’ magnetic properties, thus enhancing its electronic response. The wrap’s alloy also includes a high content of nickel (52%) preventing the strings from tarnishing. Unlike coated strings, the composition of Super Alloy 52s never compromises tone and clarity.
These new sets are now available for purchase at La Bella Strings retailers:
