Vintage tone and smooth playing feel from Ernie Ball's Flatwound Bass Strings.
The Ernie Ball P02805 Flatwound Bass Strings bring a polished, vintage tone and silky smooth feel to your bass playing experience. Available in three new gauges, including two short scale sets, these flatwound strings are precision-wound with Ernie Ball's custom recipes to deliver optimal sound quality and playing feel. The P02805 strings feature a polished stainless steel ribbon winding for a glass-like smoothness along the fingerboard. This smooth winding also produces a rich, warm tone that is perfect for jazz, R&B, funk and other vintage-style genres.
Polished Winding Provides Ultra-Smooth Feel
The polished stainless steel winding is what gives these bass strings their distinctive smooth, glass-like feel along the fingerboard. The polished winding minimizes string squeak and unwanted friction as you slide up and down the neck. This allows for slicker playing techniques and more control over subtle vibratos, bends and slides. The smooth feel also reduces hand fatigue during long practice or gigging sessions.
Vintage Warmth Across Various Gauges
These flatwound bass strings are now available in three different gages, including two short scale sets. The .045-.100 set offers a beefy low end and defined midrange perfect for standard scale basses. The 40-95 short scale set provides balanced warmth across a short scale bass. And the 30-85 ultra short scale set brings vintage roundness to small travel or mini basses. No matter your bass, you can dial in the warm, old-school tone that flatwounds are known for.
Custom Precision Wound for Optimal Sound
Ernie Ball precision winds each string set with custom gages, core sizes and wrap ratios. This customization ensures consistent quality and an ideal balance of low end thump, midrange punch and clear high end. The flatwinding technique involves wrapping each round core wire with a smooth polished steel ribbon at calibrated tensions. This creates a precise wrap that enhances the strings' warm, mellow tonality and playing feel.
Crafted with Care in California
The P02805 Flatwound Bass Strings are proudly crafted in Ernie Ball's Coachella, California factory. They are wound on state-of-the-art winding machines and undergo strict quality control checks so you can trust their consistency. Give your bass vintage roundness and buttery smooth playability with the Ernie Ball P02805 Flatwound Strings.
