Oasis
Flex-Core 5 String Bass Strings Stainless Steel
Most bass strings are made in a batch process.
Electric bass strings have 2-3 successive wraps of stainless steel or nickel
steel wire over a steel core. Most manufacturers make a production run of the
first wrap before transferring the batch to another machine for the second wrap
and so on. When making a string, the core wire is placed in the string winder
and then pulled to a particular tension. Then the wire winding is applied.
After winding, the string core tension is released and the string drops into the
collection tray. This process is repeated for the 2nd and 3rd wraps. The
repeated drawing tension and releasing tension creates internal stresses which
reduce the strings flexibility and smoothness. Unlike the other electric bass
strings, Oasis® electric bass
strings are made using a continuous winding process, allowing the application
of multiple wraps with different wrap wires without changing machines. The core
tension never changes during the winding process until the string winding is
completely finished. The result is that the Oasis® Flex-Core electric bass
guitar strings are the smoothest, most supple bass strings made in the United
States. 5 string set in either nickel steel or stainless steel sets
