Description:
Black Diamond N450LCY37 Cryogenic Stainless Steel 5-String Bass Strings are designed for long scale bass guitars. This light tension set features gauges ranging from .040 to .120. These strings utilize a specialized cryogenic treatment process that bathes the materials in liquid nitrogen at -320F (-195C). This process is specifically designed to relieve internal tensions within the metal, resulting in a high-carbon steel core that is reshaped for optimal performance and durability on 5-string instruments.
The cryogenic treatment provides superior tuning stability by reducing the elasticity of the high-carbon steel core. By refining the internal structure of the metal, Black Diamond ensures that these strings last longer than standard untreated sets while maintaining their pitch during heavy play. This 400 Cryogenic series set offers a reliable solution for bassists requiring a five-string configuration with the specific feel of light tension stainless steel wrap wire and a stable core.
