Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings blend the silky feel of classic flats with the high - performance power of Cobalt. They feature a SuperBright Cobalt ribbon wrap, Cobalt underwraps, and an ideal hex - core to wrap ratio. These are the first flatwound bass strings that truly feel like flats and sound like rounds. Gauges: .045, .065, .085, .105.

Using these Ernie Ball bass strings is straightforward. Just remove your old strings from the bass one by one and replace them with these new ones. Make sure to tune the strings properly after installation. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. This will help keep the strings sounding great for longer. Also, store your bass in a dry place to prevent the strings from rusting. If you notice any signs of wear or if the sound starts to degrade, it might be time to replace the strings.
