Description
When one string on your bass gives up before the rest of the set, you don’t need a whole new pack—you need this .032 Ernie Ball Flatwound. It’s built the same way as Ernie Ball’s full flatwound sets: a hex-shaped tin plated steel core wrapped in chrome plated steel ribbon, which is what gives flatwounds their glass-smooth surface and that mellow, vintage-leaning voice bassists chase for R&B, reggae, jazz, and old-school rock tones.
- Gauge: .032
- Construction: Flatwound, chrome plated steel wrap over hex tin plated steel core
- Length: 48″
- Taper: 37.25″
Flatwounds like this trade the bright zing of roundwounds for finger-friendly playability and a rounder, more controlled attack that sits differently in a mix. They’re also easier on frets and fingertips over long sets, which matters when you’re gigging night after night.
Keep one of these in your gig bag as a backup, use it to fill out a mismatched set, or grab a few to build your own custom-gauge flatwound setup. Either way, it’s a straightforward, no-nonsense way to keep your bass sounding and feeling right without buying a full set you don’t need.
