Carry-on CO-BASS-STRING - Nickel-plated 0.065–0.125 string set for travel bass (4 strings)

The Carry-on CO-BASS-STRING is the official 4-string set designed specifically for Carry-on travel (subscale) basses . Its .065–.085–.105–.125 gauges —heavier than a standard 4-string set—maintain balanced tension over short scale lengths, delivering a rich, bright, and punchy tone . Made with nickel-plated steel windings over a hexagonal steel core , they provide defined attack, good tuning stability, and durability for both fingerstyle and picking. The fit is optimized for 23.46″ (596 mm) scale Carry-on ST Bass models .

• Construction : Nickel-plated steel wound with hexagonal steel core for clear attack and firm bass.

• Compatibility : Guaranteed fit on Carry-on ST Bass (23.46″ / 596 mm) ; may not be compatible with other short scale basses.

Use cases
