Description
Ernie Ball’s Group II Flatwound set trades the bite of roundwounds for a polished, low-friction feel that’s easy on fingers and frets alike. Each string is built around a hex-shaped, tin-plated high carbon steel core, chosen for its durability and consistent tension response under the wrap.
- Flat stainless steel ribbon wire wound over the hex core delivers a silky playing surface and a mellow, rounded voice suited to vintage-style tones
- Tin plating on the core wire resists corrosion and helps the set hold up over long-term use
- Ball ends are machined from brass wire rod to tight tolerances for reliable seating and consistent string-to-string feel
- Gauge set: .050, .070, .085, .105
Because the flatwound construction reduces finger noise and string squeak, this set is a natural fit for players chasing upright-style thump, motown-inspired lines, or simply a quieter, smoother right-hand feel than typical roundwounds offer. The stainless wrap also tends to be gentler on frets over time compared to more aggressive winding materials.
Whether you’re restringing a P-Bass, J-Bass, or any four-string electric bass, this Group II set gives you a dependable, mellow foundation with the fit and construction quality Ernie Ball is known for.
