Ernie Ball's 6-string nickel-wound electric bass strings are crafted from nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core wire. Each string offers a bright and well-balanced tone. Ideal for 34-inch scale basses, these strings have an overall length of 48 inches and the taper starts at 37 1/4 inches. The gauges are .032, .045, .065, .080, .100, and .130, providing a great range for your playing needs.
Using these Ernie Ball bass strings is easy. First, make sure your bass is properly tuned. Then, start by replacing the old strings one by one with the new ones. When installing, thread the string through the bridge and the tuning peg, and tune it up to the right pitch. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt, which can extend their lifespan. Also, avoid exposing the strings to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice the tone starting to dull, it might be time to replace the strings. With these tips, you'll get the most out of your Ernie Ball bass strings.
