D'Addario ECB82 Chromes Flatwound Bass Strings (Medium Gauge, Long Scale)

Flattened "ribbon" wire is polished with a smooth finish to produce mellow, yet rich, low end tone that is never too flabby and always tight.

D'Addario Chromes Flatwound Bass strings are famed for their smooth feel and warm, mellow tone. The strings are wound using an outer flattened, "ribbon" wire which is then polished to a smooth finish. Chromes deliver a deep, rich low end tone that's ideal for jazz and R&B, but also has applications in contemporary pop music.

Flatwound bass strings define the warm, tight bottom of R&B and Jazz. Complex combinations of interlocking underwindings on a hex core build a foundation for the delicate outer ribbon winding. Each string is ground and polished to produce an incredibly smooth surface.

Have been using these stings on my Basses for almost 12 years now.Both my Basses are 4 string Ibanez Soundgears.One is a vintage SR400FL fretless, & the other is an SR540ZWBBT, with Bart. MK1's.These strings are supper smooth & strong, & won't tear up your fingerboard, frets,, & fingers.I get at least a few years out of a set, with playing around 2hrs. a week average.Always put a new set on the SR540 first, & then transfer that set on to the Fretless, for a couple of years more.

Musical Background:

Started playing instruments @ around 8. Have been ''seriously'' playing Bass for about 12 years.

Musical Style:

Classic rock, classic R&B,, FUNK, & Disco.
