Sound & Performance
The BS-C4N’s slightly heavier gauge (.045–.106) gives a solid low-end foundation and rich midrange presence.
Thanks to its taper-core E string, it provides fast response, improved clarity, and excellent string balance even on extended-scale basses.
Each string undergoes strict tension control and multiple winding trials to ensure stable tuning, long life, and consistent feel across all strings.
