Revolutionary bass strings that bridge the gap between traditional flatwounds and modern roundwounds have arrived with Ernie Ball's innovative Slinky Flatwound series. These strings feature a unique SuperBright Cobalt ribbon wrap combined with Cobalt underwraps, creating an unprecedented tonal character that maintains the smooth tactile qualities flatwound players love.
The engineering behind these strings centres on an optimal hex-core to wrap ratio that maximises both comfort and sonic output. This careful balance allows bassists to enjoy the familiar feel of traditional flat strings while accessing the brightness and punch typically associated with roundwound sets.
Available in a versatile .045, .065, .085, .105 gauge configuration, these strings represent a significant advancement in bass string technology. The Cobalt construction provides enhanced power and clarity, making them suitable for players seeking the best attributes of both flatwound smoothness and roundwound presence in a single set.
