Description
If you’re running a baritone-scale bass or hybrid instrument, you already know standard bass strings just don’t fit right — the ball ends are too big and the gauges aren’t built for this range. Ernie Ball’s Baritone Slinky set solves that with small, guitar-style ball ends and round-wound construction tuned specifically for A-A or B-B setups on a 29 5/8″ scale.
Round-wound strings give you the punch and definition you want when you’re covering low territory that a regular baritone guitar can’t touch, but without losing articulation. Every note comes through clear, whether you’re laying down a driving root-note groove or picking out a melodic line up the neck. That clarity matters when your baritone is doing double duty as a low-string voice in the mix.
This listing gets you two full sets, so you’re covered for backup strings on the road or restringing two instruments without a second order. Gauges run .013, .018p, .030, .044, .056, .072 — a spread designed to keep tension and tone balanced across the whole set at baritone scale.
- Small ball end design — fits baritone/hybrid instruments, not standard bass ball-end sockets
- Round-wound for punch and clarity
- Optimized for A-A or B-B tuning
- 29 5/8″ scale length
- Gauges: .013, .018p, .030, .044, .056, .072
- 2-pack — two complete sets
Grab a couple extra sets and keep them in the gig bag — baritone strings aren’t the easiest thing to find at 11pm before a set.
