Robert Trujillo and Dunlop ​Launch New Bass String Sets

Robert Trujillo and Dunlop ​Launch New Bass String Sets

Dunlop worked closely with the Metallica bassist to develop a set of strings to complement his signature sound and playing style with extra power and flexibility.


The resulting Robert Trujillo Bass Strings are designed to serve up a clear and articulate top end, a solid midrange punch to cut through a wall of guitars, and more than enough focused bottom to knock you on your backside.

Robert likes his tapered, but not everyone has their bass configured for that style—so these strings are designed specifically for non-tapered setups using the exact same formulas. They’re available in Nickel Wound and Stainless Steel in four-and five-string sets.

“Always trust your ears, attitude, and fingers,” Robert says. “These strings are the perfect balance of power, tone, and resonance on wood.”

  • Designed using the same formulas as Robert Trujillo's own custom tapered strings
  • Made specifically for non-tapered setups
  • Clear & articulate top end
  • Solid midrange punch
  • Focused bottom to knock you on your backside

Dunlop Robert Trujillo Bass Strings are available now at $30 (four-string sets) and $35 (five-string sets) from your favorite retailer.
