Ernie Ball " Electric Bass Strings "

Ernie Ball Electric Bass Strings (flatwound) The generic title "Electric Bass Strings" from Ernie Ball refers to their flatwound strings. The different "groups" of this string only mean different gauges.

Ernie Ball Flatwound strings are a good choice for those who like the deep, thumpy, “old school” flatwound bass sound. One nice feature about these flats is the variety of gauge available- not all companies offer thinner flatwounds like the Group IV (the different group numbers refer only to gauge, I being the thickest, IV the thinnest.) Naturally the different gauges will allow you to have different levels of tension on your strings as well, but in general these strings have a nice middle-ground in their feel: not super tight, not floppy loose.

These flatwounds can be rather inexpensive compared to other brands, without being of lower quality, which is an excellent selling point.
