GHS Bass Boomers - DYB30X - Bass Single String, .030, Extra Long Scale – Reliable Brightness for Extra Long Scale Basses

The GHS Bass Boomers - DYB30X - Bass Single String, .030, Extra Long Scale is crafted for players needing extra reach and articulate tone. Designed for extra long scale electric basses, it combines a roundwound nickel-plated steel wrap with a robust hex core, ensuring clarity and strong projection. This model appeals to anyone looking to replace a single string or customize their setup for a unique bass.

Engineered for Extended Bass Guitars

What sets this model apart is how it addresses the requirements of bassists using longer scales. With a 38" (965 mm) winding length, the string fits many modern basses (34–35"/864–889 mm), providing reliable coverage from bridge to tuning peg and avoiding premature tapering.

Features Supporting Customization

Choosing the optimal string involves more than gauge; this string emphasizes flexibility and tonal clarity. The nickel-plated steel provides a lively, bright response, while the hex core locks in tuning under demanding performance.
