Ernie Ball Stainless Steel Flatwound Electric Bass Strings are designed to deliver a smooth playing feel and a controlled, mellow bass tone. These strings are constructed using flat stainless steel ribbon wire wrapped around a hex-shaped, tin-plated steel core, resulting in reduced finger noise and a consistent, even response across the set.
The flatwound design provides a naturally smooth surface that minimizes string squeak and supports comfortable playability, making these strings well suited for traditional, vintage-inspired, and low-noise bass applications. Stainless steel construction offers durability and a stable tonal character, while maintaining the focused fundamentals commonly associated with flatwound bass strings.
Multiple gauge options are available to accommodate different playing styles and tension preferences. Please select your preferred gauge from the dropdown menu.
