The "Flats" Character: Softness, Roundness, and Control
With the Ernie Ball Flats Group 2.5 45-105, you enter the world of flatwound strings: a softer attack, controlled sustain, and a noticeably more "vintage" tone than a set of roundwound strings. The polished stainless steel flatwound provides a particularly pleasant feel while delivering a balanced response that works well in soul, jazz, pop, reggae, as well as for achieving an old-school foundation on a modern bass.
