Brightness and durability for a consistently clear bass
With the Stainless Steel range, Ernie Ball focuses on a highly sought-after balance: a bright, long-lasting tone and a smooth playing feel. Made from a stainless steel wire wound around a high-carbon hexagonal steel core wire, these strings deliver a crisp response, well-defined lows, and harmonics that remain prominent even after multiple sessions.
A standard adopted by many bassists
Since Ernie Ball helped establish bass string standards, the list of users has steadily grown. Among them: Shavo Odadjian (System of a Down), Chi Cheng (Deftones), Christopher Tony Wolstenholme (Muse), Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Nine Inch Nails), and Rick Savage (Def Leppard), to name just a few.
