ABRUZZO ANCIENT MASTER STRING MAKERS HISTORY AND TRADITION CONTINUE!
Markbass Strings are made in our factory in Abruzzo (Italy), using the best selected 
innovative materials and ultimate quality controls matched with the ancient tradition 
of master string makers.

The GOUCHÈ strings series has been developed in collaboration with our top-artist 
Andrew Gouchè, the legendary godfather of gospel bass players and Grammy Award winning 
producer. With his distinctive bass sound and over 30 years of experience, Andrew has
 made an indelible mark on the history of Gospel and R&B music, inspiring today’s 
generation of bassists. These strings series are made of selected high quality 
stainless steel wire wrapped over a hex high carbon content core with a special 
semi-exposed section at the bridge, so string rides low and tight in saddle, allowing 
for a very comfortable low-action and offering extra brilliance, super sustain and 
definition on the low strings.

Play longer, sound better

Cleartone Electric Strings may have a coating of only one micron, but it's more 
durable than coatings thousands of times its thickness. It won't flake off with 
hard playing, nor will it feel slick or slippery to your touch. Super-high tension 
winding over a hex-core is used to maintain tuning consistency throughout 
your performance. EMP Treatment is then applied to all the strings (including 
plain strings) to ensure longest tonal life without compromises.

Cleartone Strings are manufactured in house using 100% US Parts and Labor. We use only the highest quality, 
US sourced, nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a high-carbon hexagonal steel core. Our patented Cleartone 
treatment will ensure you spend more time playing and less time changing strings. Put this all together and 
you get a string with a bright and clear tone, better tuning consistency, and increased output and lifespan!
