Press Release

Cleartone Strings announced plans to introduce Cleartone Bass Strings, a premium brand of bass strings designed to last longer but without the compromised feel and sound coated strings are known for. Cleartone Bass Strings feature their patent pending EMP Coating (Enhanced Molecular Protection); the technology that makes Cleartone guitar strings unique. At 500 nanometers thin, the EMP Treatment is the thinnest coating in the industry. “It’s accepted that coated strings last longer and uncoated strings sound better,” said Joe Iacobellis, Sales and Marketing for Cleartone Strings, “There has been a tone compromise, and up until now, bass players had to accept it. Cleartone gives you unbelievable clarity, and lasts a really long time.”

Since their introduction in January 2005, Cleartone strings have garnered rave reviews from electric and acoustic players alike. “Cleartone Strings found the fountain of youth for bass strings,” says Evan Skopp of Seymour Duncan/Bassline Pickups. “But if they are so smart, didn’t they realize bass players will be buying less strings since a well played set of Cleartones sound great for half a year?”

Cleartone Strings will introduce the bass strings at the 2007 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. Retail for a 4 string set will be $50 and the 5th string will retail for $24.
