The Slinky Standard for 6-String Long Scale Bass
Recognized and played by many bassists worldwide, Slinky strings are among the essential string sets for those seeking a clear attack, a good balance between brightness and warmth, and a consistent feel under the fingers. Manufactured in the Coachella Valley, California, they benefit from high manufacturing standards and carefully selected materials, which explains their reputation for reliability both in the studio and on stage.
This Ernie Ball 2838 set is designed for long scale instruments and targets 6-string bassists who want a consistent gauge across the entire range. This series has notably been chosen by Dave La Rue, and the brand is used by many artists (including Shavo Odadjian, Chi Cheng, Christopher Tony Wolstenholme, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Rick Savage).
