The Markbass Vintage series flat wound bass strings are made of a mix of nickel and laminated steel wire. These bass strings are hand-wound on hexagonal high-carbon content core with high magnetic content to increase the response of magnetic pickups, and polished by the skilled hands of Markbass string makers. Their calibrated diameter and tension offer great sound and feel, with classic flat, smooth, long-life tone.

Markbass strings are made from their factory in Abruzzo, Italy—where the art of string-making was born—using the best selected innovative materials and ultimate quality controls matched with the ancient tradition of master string makers. The artistry and know-how of string-making in Abruzzo have been exported worldwide, offering a superior product with exceptional performance, amazing feel, intonation and reliability.
