Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings blend the silky feel of traditional flat - wound strings 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 flat - wound bass strings that truly feel like flats and sound like round - wound ones. Available in gauges .050, .070, .085, .105.
To use these Ernie Ball bass strings, simply remove your old strings one by one and replace them with the new ones in the corresponding gauges. Make sure to tune the strings gradually to avoid breakage. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the strings sounding great and extend their lifespan. Also, store your bass in a dry place to prevent the strings from rusting. If you notice any signs of wear or a change in tone, it might be time to replace the strings.
