They feature a SuperBright Cobalt ribbon wrap, Cobalt underwraps, and an ideal hex - core to wrap ratio.

Using these Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings is easy. Just install them on your electric bass guitar following the standard string - changing process. When you play, you'll notice the smooth feel and great sound right away. As for maintenance, try to wipe the strings down with a clean cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. This will help keep their tone and extend their lifespan. Also, avoid exposing the strings to extreme humidity or temperature, as this can affect their performance. If you notice the sound starting to dull, it might be time to change the strings.
