Description
If you’re chasing that old-school flat sound—round, warm, no zing—Ernie Ball’s Flatwound Group II set delivers it without a fight. These are flat stainless steel wire wrapped around a hex-shaped, tin-plated steel core, and the difference shows up the moment you dig in: less string noise, less finger squeak, more pure low-end body coming through the amp.
Gauges run .050, .070, .085, .105, giving you a set that sits comfortably for players who want a bit more push against the fingers than roundwounds while keeping the tone mellow and rounded rather than bright and aggressive. Great for fretless players who need that gliding, glassy feel, or anyone chasing a vintage R&B/soul low end on a fretted bass.
- Wrap wire: Stainless steel ribbon, precision wound for a smooth playing surface and warm, vintage-leaning tone.
- Core wire: Tin-plated high carbon steel hex core for solid durability under regular gigging.
- Ball end: Machined brass wire rod, cut to tight tolerances for a consistent, reliable fit in your bridge.
These aren’t strings that scream for attention—they’re strings that sit back and let the note breathe, which is exactly the point of a good flatwound set. If your bass tone needs to feel more
