Description
Six-string basses ask a lot of a string set—wide gauge spread, tight low B, singing high C, and enough clarity to keep every string articulate in a busy mix. Ernie Ball’s 2837 Slinky set answers that call with round-wound construction that delivers punchy attack and real definition across the whole neck, whether you’re locking in a groove or reaching up for a melodic run.
These are built specifically for players running small ball end strings, the same style used on guitar, so double-check your bass’s bridge/tailpiece setup before ordering. That detail matters more on 6-string rigs than most players realize—get it wrong and nothing fits right.
Made in Coachella Valley, Southern California, each set covers the gauges you need for a 29 5/8″ scale 6-string: .020 .030 .042 .054 .074 .090. That spread keeps the low B tight and controlled while the top strings stay bright enough to cut through, no dead spots, no flabby low end.
This listing is a 2-pack, so you’re covered for a full string change now and a backup set for when the next long gig or session catches you off guard. Practical, no-nonsense, and priced to stock up.
