The "flatwound" texture: precision, warmth, and control
The Ernie Ball 2802 Flatwound strings are aimed at bassists seeking a rounder attack, softened highs, and stable definition without the typical aggressiveness of roundwound strings. Thanks to their smooth surface, they offer immediate comfort for fingerstyle, pick playing, or palm muting, while delivering that vintage and elegant character highly appreciated in soul, jazz, pop, and rock. Ernie Ball, a reference brand in the bass world, is also favored by many musicians, including Shavo Odadjian (System of A Down), Chi Cheng (Deftones), Christopher Tony Wolstenholme (Muse), Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails), and Rick Savage (Def Leppard).Technical specifications
