Capri-23 Strings

Designed exclusively for the Ashdown Capri-23 bass guitars, the Capri-23 strings were developed to complement the instrument's compact super short scale design while delivering the full-bodied tone, feel and performance bass players expect from Ashdown.

Creating strings for a super short scale bass requires more than simply shortening standard bass strings. The Capri-23 string set has been carefully engineered to provide balanced tension, reliable tuning stability and consistent tonal response across the entire frequency range, ensuring the Capri-23 retains its punch, warmth and articulation despit its highly portable format.

Built with a high-quality steel core and nickel plated round wound winding, the Capri-23 Strings deliver rich low-end response, focused mids and crisp attack with excellent responsive feel under the fingers while maintaining the smooth playability needed for extended practice, studio work and live performance.

The custom gauge configuration of .065, .085, .105 and .125 has been specifically selected to maximise the performance of the Capri-23 bass guitar, helping the instrument maintain strong fundamental tone, balanced string tension and impressive low-frequency definition.

Whether you're replacing worn strings or looking to get the very best from your Capri-23, these strings are designed to work as a complete extension of he instrument itself, delivering compact convenience without compromising true bass tone.
