The "flat" feel... with real attack
The Ernie Ball 2812 Flatwound Regular Slinky combine the best of both worlds: the comfort and consistency of flatwound strings, with the modernity and sonic energy of cobalt. The result: a more direct response, enhanced definition, and controlled lows, while retaining that silky feel highly appreciated in funk, soul, pop, jazz, and for all parts where precision matters.
