Fodera Bass Strings

Unlike other custom builders, we make our own strings. Wound by hand by just three people in small batches, our Fodera strings have been developed in collaboration with some of the finest bass players in the world. They have been continually refined over the past fifteen plus years to ensure that they are the perfect complement to our handcrafted instruments -- or any other bass on which they may be used!

Our strings come in a variety of gauges and lengths and are offered with both Stainless Steel and Nickel outer wraps. Years of close consultation and collaboration with some of the finest bass players on the planet has yielded string sets that offer unmatched response, feel and tonal balance.

With unrivaled tone and feel, our strings are sure to have you playing at your very best.

Please Note:

***XL length strings fit on 35" scales basses strung through-body and on 36" scale basses.
