No,

the nickel bass string consist generaly of a stainless steel wrap with a nickel plated treatment.GHS boomers, fender 7250 or d'addario XL are the famous nickel plated bass strings.

But "pure nickel" bass strings exists.Fender (7150), thomastik (jazz flats and rounds) and now DR (hellborg) produce some strings with a pure nickel wrap (not a stainless steel nickel plated).

Rotosound swing bass are famous as a stainless steel.
So are the "nickel" swing bass made of a nickel plated wrap or a "pure nickel" wrap ?
