Dean Markley's 2670 Series Blue Steel electric bass strings are cryogenically treated in liquid nitrogen to produce a "super" string. Like the Blue Steel electric guitar strings, their bass strings also start out with the advantage of being stainless steel. Then they are given a cryogenic treatment in liquid nitrogen (-321F) to enhance their crystalline micro-structure. The result is a string with "super" tone and endurance. Dean Markley Blue Steel electric bass strings give you clear and brilliant tone, like no other string available today. They also outlast other strings, so your tone doesn't die young. The cryogenic process improves the already impressive mechanical properties of the string down at the molecular level, by essentially realigning the crystalline structure and homogenizing its characteristics. The transformation is essentially permanent, and is retained as the metal returns to room temperature. The surface of these strings is a little harder and wears longer, with no soft spots or weak areas. Tensile strength of the string is also improved, meaning it won't stretch as much as "untreated" strings over the lifetime of the string. Speaking of lifetime, these strings seem to hold their tone at least twice as long as conventional strings, maybe longer. Blue Steels are round wound with stainless steel, for good intonation, clarity, and harmonic content of the native tone. They sound good right from the start, and the extra life just means extra value. Experience the remarkable sound of cryogenically treated stainless steel strings. You'll be amazed.
