Description
When your bassline needs to cut through a mix without going thin, Power Slinky nickel round wounds deliver that classic Ernie Ball snap with real weight behind it. This 2831 set runs .055, .075, .090, .110 — a medium-tension gauge spread that gives you enough resistance to dig in for slap and pick work, while still letting your fretting hand breathe through long sets.
- Round-wound nickel construction for bright attack and a full, punchy low end
- Gauges: .055 .075 .090 .110
- Made in Coachella Valley, Southern California
- 2-pack — restring now, keep a spare set in the gig bag for later
Ernie Ball has been the go-to for touring and session bassists for decades, and Power Slinky sits right in the sweet spot between the looser Regular Slinky and the stiffer Beefy Slinky sets. If your rig calls for strings that stay articulate on chorus verses and still thump on the breakdown, this is the gauge to reach for. Having a backup set already in your case means one broken string doesn’t end the night — just swap and keep playing.
Whether you’re outfitting a P-bass for a Motown session, a modern 4-string for metal, or anything in between, Power Slinky nickel wounds give you tone that translates from bedroom practice to the big stage.
