bass string

Deep guitar wire

A bass string is the thicker, lower-pitched string on a stringed instrument—the strings that produce the deep tones on a guitar, piano, or violin.

Bass strings are typically wound with metal wire around a core to add mass without sacrificing flexibility: The bass strings on my acoustic guitar need replacing.
