A vintage tone between double bass and flatwound, in medium scale version
The D'Addario ETB92M set adapts the formula of the famous ETB92 to medium scale basses. Its black nylon wrap provides a warm character, with dense lows and a softer attack, highly appreciated for soul, jazz, reggae, pop lines, or any context where a well-grounded "vintage" sound is sought. The particularly comfortable feel limits finger noise and promotes smooth playing, whether you play fingerstyle or with a pick.
These Tapewound strings are designed to remain balanced and durable, with a construction aimed at optimal tension and reliable installation on standard basses. They are suitable for both fretted basses and fretless models, allowing you to switch from double bass-like tones to more compact and deep timbres, without the typical stiffness of some flatwound sets.
