Get to know them!

Bass players who favor vintage styles are sure to love the mellow presence and string noise reduction that Ernie Ball flatwounds provide. When you cinch Ernie Ball Flatwound strings to your bass guitar, you'll instantly notice a warmer sound, smoother attack, and cleaner fundamental focus. Ernie Ball Flatwound strings feature sturdy tin-plated steel hex cores and are wound using stainless steel ribbon, which makes them every bit as durable as conventional roundwounds. Moreover, Ernie Ball Flatwounds have a glassy-smooth feel that significantly reduces friction and string noise. Such traits have made flatwounds a go-to string choice for jazz, blues, and vintage country players, but flatwounds are also perfect for adding easy-going authenticity to neo-soul and lo-fi. Sweetwater bassists also confirm that Ernie Ball Flatwound strings readily handle driven or distortion tones, so long as you adjust your EQ, tone, and compression settings accordingly. Discover the string alternative that works for you with a set of Ernie Ball Flatwounds!

  • Smoother attack and stronger focus on fundamentals than roundwound strings
  • A favorite for R&B, soul, vintage blues, and more
  • Polished feel reduces unwanted finger noise such as squeaks
  • Crafted in Coachella, CA, using state-of-the-art technology

Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing.

The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.
