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.

Last up to 3X longer - Amazing Tone - Effortless Feel - High Output - Great Sustain

Cryogenically treated to enhance tone and feel while creating a longer lasting and 
more durable string. The cryogenic process removes transient material that produces 
harsh highs and muddy lows that kill the sound and life of your string.
Made of 8% nickel-plated steel outer wrap on tinned Mandolin wire hex-core, 
Blue Steel strings have been best sellers worldwide for over 30 years and are 
used by the best musicians everywhere. Once you try Blue Steel strings you’ll be hooked. 
They feel great, ring true, are durable and long-lasting with harmonics you won't 
find in any other string.
