General

This pack of Ernie Ball 2818 Regular Slinky Flatwound Short Scale strings will kit out any short scale electric or steel-string acoustic and electro-acoustic bass with the warm, round sound and smooth playing feel of flat winding. If you are installing these strings on an acoustic bass, then double check that the build of your instrument can handle it and, whether electric or acoustic, that the scale length is no longer than 30 inches. Part of the Bass Slinky Flatwound range, these strings have been made of cobalt, which doesn't just boost the comfort and sonic warmth but adds more depth and definition. This pack includes gauges .045 to .105.

Wrote the following about Ernie Ball 2818 Regular Slinky Flatwound Short Scale 45-105 Bass Guitar Strings
Some years ago I started using stainless steel flat wound strings on my Rickenbacker 4001 to try to tame it's treblyness a bit, which worked a treat. I of course then discovered how much I liked the feel of flat wound strings, very comfortable and much reduced finger noise, so I fitted them to all my other basses. Sadly the stainless strings cut too much treble from my short scale Jazz (P/J) which left me with a problem. Having read many articles on the subject I decided to give these Ernie Ball Slinky "Cobalt" flats a go and I am very impressed.

Though they are not quite as bright as rounds they are pretty close and are certainly bright enough, they also seem to keep their brightness after being used for a while. The tension is good, not too sloppy on the short scale. They are not quite as smooth as the stainless (Thomastik Infeld) strings I had been using when first fitted but that improves with playing and the application of a little string lubricant, (Ernie Ball Wonder Wipes or Music Nomad String Fuel) If you are fitting these to a short scale make sure you measure carefully, I do not think they will be long enough on string through designs but on my top mounted Jazz and Stingray they are perfect with the end wrap starting just beyond the nut on both.

I now have these strings on all my basses with the exception of the Ricky and I am very happy with them.

Even hoopte ik de ideale bassnaren te hebben gevonden! Wat een fijne sound en wat spelen ze lekker. Na amper een week brak de winding van de G-snaar tijdens het spelen, rare gewaarwording maar vooral schrikken! Niet eerder meegemaakt. Snaren teruggestuurd en gelukkig geld retour ontvangen maar wat een desillusie!!!
Ik durf ze niet opnieuw te bestellen, we zoeken verder……

Très bonnes cordes. Je ne connaissais pas les Flatwound, elles sont top : lisses et faciles à jouer.
Chères mais ça change la vie sur ma basse
