The "round" sound with the comfort of flatwound
The Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound 40 is aimed at bassists who want the best of both worlds: the comfort of a flatwound string (less grip, less unwanted noise) and a more modern, "lively" tone brought by cobalt. The result: a clear and defined grain, with good articulation for pick and fingerstyle lines, while maintaining a very smooth playing feel.
