Augustine basses are referred to by colors to denote their different tensions. Three of the four bass types are composed of nylon multifilament “yarn” wrapped in silver plated copper wire.
Blue basses are high tension
Red basses are medium tension
Black basses are low tension
Gold basses are medium tension
and are wrapped with brass-plated copper wire
All Augustine sets are comprised of one of these bass sets matched with our various treble series, creating a wealth of combinations for guitarists to try.
