The Flatwound Character: Vintage Roundness, Modern Comfort
The Ernie Ball 2806 Flatwound strings are designed for bassists seeking a soft, muted, and musical sound with a smoother attack than roundwound strings. Thanks to their flatwound design, they offer a particularly pleasant playing experience for the fretting hand while reducing unwanted noise during movement. An excellent choice for styles where the bass needs to remain solid and warm: soul, jazz, pop, classic rock, studio work, or vintage covers.A Custom Gauge Group III for Well-Controlled Tension
With their 45-65-80-100 gauge, these strings are perfectly suited for 4-string basses and provide a balanced feel: enough tension for precise playing while maintaining comfortable flexibility. Their construction, based on flatwound wire (flat and chrome-plated steel) wound around a specially tempered and tin-plated hexagonal steel core, aims to produce a very smooth sound with consistent response across the entire neck.Technical specifications
