Description
If you’re chasing that old-school upright growl or just want your fretless to sing without string squeal, ETB92 tapewounds deliver. D’Addario wraps a flattened black nylon around the core and polishes it to a glass-smooth finish, so your fingers glide instead of catching on ridges. The result is a warm, rounded low end that sits somewhere between a doghouse bass thump and the focused punch of a good flatwound set.
These aren’t just for fretless players, though — fretted basses take to them just as well, especially if you’re after a vintage, less-hi-fi voice for reggae, soul, or old-country gigs where the string noise needs to disappear and the note needs to bloom.
Gauged at .050, .065, .085, and .105, this set is built for long scale basses up to a 36 1/4″ scale length, and D’Addario engineers the tension so the strings seat properly on standard saddles and nuts — no fussing with fitment on stage or at the tech bench.
