FLATS are the leading range of flat wound bass strings from Ernie Ball. These smooth ribbon wound strings have a sleek, slinky feel with a naturally rich sound.
As with all Ernie Ball strings they have a tin-plated steel hex core for great intonation and solid fundamental tone. The outer flattened-tape wrap wire is stainless steel which, once wound, is polished to beautifully smooth finish.
The sound of Flats is literally smooth. It’s deep and powerful with a softer upper response and less of the round wound brilliance resulting in solid fundamental tones.
SKU: P02808
We insist that players use the measurement of ball-end (anchor) to top nut of their current set of strings. This measurement is more accurate than scale length as it takes into account through-body stringing, and more complex or alternative bridges. In many cases the set of strings required will be longer than the bass’s stated scale length! Use these references:
If ball-end-to-nut length is:
Up to 32” choose Short Scale
32”-34” choose Medium Scale
34”-36” choose Long Scale
36”-38” choose Extra/Super Long Scale
If you have a bass where you cannot see the ball-end i.e. a thru-body bass, you will have to measure your string once it has been removed. Before removing the string be sure to make a mark on the string with a permanent marker just behind the nut so you know where to measure to. Then once you’ve taken it off the bass, you can measure from the ball-end to the mark you made on the string.
