Legendary Low-end Tone

A bass sound as iconic as Pino Palladino’s is not built on ordinary strings, and that’s why Pino has partnered with the pioneering engineers at Ernie Ball to create his signature line of Smoothie Flats. Meticulously designed to Pino’s specifications, these bass strings deliver a rich, deep tone courtesy of the cobalt alloy ribbon winding and offer players an ultra-smooth, low-tension playing experience specifically suited for clear articulation and deep grooves, blending vintage warmth with modern sensibility. Sweetwater bassists find their fingers fluently gliding over these exceptional strings as they explore expressions across various genres and playing styles. Created by innovators and championed by legends, the Ernie Ball Pino Palladino Smoothie Flats bass guitar strings are primed for your unique voice.

  • Custom strings designed for and used by legendary bassist Pino Palladino
  • Cobalt alloy ribbon winding delivers a rich and deep sound

Rated 5/5
My favorite flats!
I bought these mostly because they were available in such a light gauge. I had the slinky flats previously and while they sounded good they had a sticky feeling and they are very picky about how you install them (no cutting). These are super smooth, bright and available in the lightest gauge I've seen in flatwounds. These remind me of la Bella deep talkin flats but brighter and more flexible. I highly recommend these!
