GHS Pressurewound bass strings are designed for players who like the articulation and dynamics associated with roundwound strings but want a smoother feel with less finger noise. GHS starts with a hex core and slightly flattens its nickel-iron Alloy 52™ wrap wire as the string is wound.
That rollerwound construction gives Pressurewounds a distinctive middle ground: deep tone with punch and dynamics, an articulate attack, and a smoother surface than a conventional roundwound. GHS also specifically recommends Pressurewounds for fretless players looking to retain the characteristic "mwah" of a fretless bass while going easier on the fingerboard.
Deep & Articulate: GHS voices Pressurewounds for a deep fundamental while retaining punch, dynamics, and articulation.
Smoother Feel: The nickel-iron wrap is slightly flattened during winding, creating the slicker surface that distinguishes Pressurewounds from conventional roundwounds.
Reduced Finger Noise: The rollerwound surface is designed to reduce the finger noise associated with traditional roundwound strings.
Fretless Friendly: GHS specifically highlights Pressurewounds for fretless bass, where their smoother surface retains the instrument's characteristic "mwah" while being easier on the fingerboard.
ML7200 - 4 String, Medium Light, 37.25" Winding, 44-102:
.044, .058, .080, .102
The lighter of the two 4-string Pressurewound sets offered here, with lighter D, A, and E strings than the M7200.
M7200 - 4 String, Medium, 37.25" Winding, 44-106:
.044, .062, .084, .106
The medium 4-string set, retaining the same .044 G while moving to heavier .062, .084, and .106 gauges on the lower strings.
M7200-5 - 5 String, Medium, 37.25" Winding, 44-128:
.044, .062, .084, .106, .128
The 5-string Pressurewound set, using the same G-through-E gauges as M7200 and adding a .128 low B.
Construction: Pressurewound / rollerwound
Wrap Material: Nickel-Iron (Alloy 52™)

M7200: 37.25" winding length
M7200-5: 37.25" winding length
GHS categorizes these Pressurewound sets as Universal Scale. Because winding length and bass scale length are not the same measurement, confirm that the 37.25" winding length is appropriate for your instrument before ordering.
