Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass Guitar Strings

Ernie Ball strings have been a top choice for players of all types since the early 1960s, when guitarists came into Ernie Ball's music store, customizing their string gauges to make their axes easier to play. After fruitless attempts to interest major guitar manufacturers in a lighter set of strings, Ernie Ball decided to start making his own. When you open a pack of his strings today, you know you're getting a quality set of strings designed to give you great tone, reliable performance, and long life. You can't go wrong when you string up with Ernie Ball strings!

Ernie Ball Super Slinky Round Wound Bass Strings are heavily used by both amateurs and professional musicians. Made from nickel plated steel (NPS) windings wrapped around tin plated, hex shaped steel core wire, Slinkys produce a well balanced, all-around great sound, no matter what your playing style.

Rated 5/5

Heavy metal strings that rock!!!

while using a 4 string bass to provide the lower end i take the bottom 4 for strings tuning them to c standard. The feel and sound is insane!!!!!!!
Music background: heavy metal bass player
Rated 3/5

Warning

These strings are of good quality but if you own a Jackson with with a HiMass bridge the 5th string won't fit because of the tail end of the string widening out. The only way to fix this is to widen out the string hole just enough but on a HiMass it will interfere with the saddle screws.
If anyone knows of a string manufacturer that's strings don't widen our at the base please tell me.
