Ed Eastridge All classical guitar bass strings are made from the same two components: nylon floss core with a silver plated copper wire winding. Unlike winding steel core strings, nylon core strings are far more malleable, allowing the manufacturer greater flexibility the winding process. As we have found, changes in this process can have dramatic effects on string performance. Using our custom string winding equipment, we have recently reformulated our Centurion Classical Bass String Sets ($5.85). Our friend, Jim Piorkowski*, provided a professional ear and has offered his comments: “I think that these newly formulated Centurion Classical Bass String Sets ($5.85) are now the highest quality available, because they exhibit four qualities that I truly appreciate: 1st. Their flexibility allows for easy vibrato and expression 2nd The produce a lyrical and sustained tone 3rd. The “finger squeaks” are reduced 4tth. They endure many hours of playing and still sound lovely Centurion Classical Bass String Sets ($5.85) are offered in light, normal, medium and high tension. These strings are offered either individually, in bass sets or matched with Oasis Regency, Titanium and GPX treble sets. All strings have tarnish protective packaging. Regarding Shipping.
