Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings bring together the smooth feel of traditional flats with the modern power of cobalt. Cobalt, a metal that Ernie Ball introduced to the electric string world, displays a very strong attraction to the magenets in guitar and bass pickups. This enhanced magnetic relationship results in a flatwound bass string with increased brightness, clarity, and output without the finger noise of a round wound string. Ball End; Our ball-ends are manufactured from high quality brass wire rod to our exacting specifications. Wrap Wire; Slinky Flatwound bass strings are precision wound with a patented iron-cobalt alloy wire providing higher output and clarity with superior intonation and consistency. Core Wire; The core is made from tin-plated high-carbon steel hex wire providing excellent durability.
