Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings
Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings bring together the smooth feel of traditional flats with the modern power of cobalt. Cobalt, a metal that Ernie Ball introduced to the electric string world, displays a very strong attraction to the magenets in guitar and bass pickups. This enhanced magnetic relationship results in a flatwound bass string with increased brightness, clarity, and output without the finger noise of a round wound string.
