Description
Six strings means more real estate to cover, and Ernie Ball’s 2838 Slinky set gives every one of those strings a job to do. The .032-.130 gauge spread is built to keep your low B tight and defined instead of floppy, while the round-wound construction on top keeps your upper register articulate for chords, tapping, or fast fills that need to speak clearly through the low end.
These are long scale strings with taper starting at 37 1/4″, so they’re made specifically for extended-scale 6-string basses where standard tapers just won’t reach. Ernie Ball winds these in Coachella Valley, Southern California, with the same nickel-wound formula that’s been a stage and studio staple for decades – reliable tone, consistent feel set to set, and enough punch to hold its own next to guitars and drums.
- Gauges: .032 / .045 / .065 / .080 / .100 / .130
- Long scale, nickel round wound
- Taper begins at 37 1/4″
- Made in Coachella Valley, Southern California
- 2-Pack — stock up and never get caught with a dead set before a gig
If you’re running a 6-string long scale bass and need strings that won’t buckle under that low B, this is the set to build your low end around.
