Bass Guitar Strings

Bass strings bring together choices in gauge, string count and winding style. This collection includes Ernie Ball four- and five-string sets in nickel-wound and flatwound versions, giving bass players different starting points for feel and sound.

Check your bass's scale length and required winding length as well as the number of strings. Then compare the gauge range with your preferred tuning and tension, and think about whether the playing surface of a flatwound or roundwound set better suits your technique.
