A Flatwound Set Designed for Clean, Stable, and Comfortable Groove
The Ernie Ball 2810 Custom Gauge strings are aimed at 5-string bassists seeking controlled sound and ultra-smooth feel. Thanks to the flatwound construction, you gain comfort during shifts while limiting unwanted noise during slides and position changes. A relevant choice for styles where the bass needs to remain deep, consistent, and precise, from rock to studio work, including pop and more vintage grooves.Made from chrome flat steel wound around a hexagonal steel core specially tempered and tin-plated, these strings offer good stability and a balanced response across the entire range, with a firmer and more controlled feel than roundwound sets. Ernie Ball, a reference brand that has significantly contributed to bass string standards, is used by many artists, including Shavo Odadjian, Chi Cheng, Christopher Tony Wolstenholme, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and Rick Savage.
