Product Overview
Features
- Round wound Magnecore alloy on a flexible hexagonal core — bright, aggressive tone with extra-long sustain
- Brass-coated steel plain strings resist corrosion; hexcore reduces playing effort and enhances tapping response
- High output and boosted high frequencies drive distortion, reverb, and delay effects to the limit
Description
The Thomastik-Infeld PB109 is the light-gauge entry in the Power-Brights Regular Bottom series, a rock-voiced electric set built around Thomastik's Magnecore alloy wrap wound over a highly flexible hexagonal steel core. The result is a bright, aggressive tone with ringing sustain and a sensitive response to pick attack — a set that rewards technique, from percussive tapping to natural harmonics. The plain E, B, and G are highly flexible steel with a corrosion-resistant brass coating; the D, A, and low E are Magnecore roundwound over the hexcore.
Voiced with rock guitarists in mind, the PB109 loves distortion. The high output and boosted high frequencies drive overdriven amps, delays, and modulation effects harder than standard nickel strings, while the flexible hexcore reduces playing effort and keeps bends fluid. At .009-.042, the set delivers super-light bending feel with the aggressive top-end cut and long tonal life that have made the Power-Brights line a longstanding choice for rock and lead players. Made in Vienna to Thomastik-Infeld's century-old standards.
