Description
Ernie Ball’s Group III Flatwound set trades bright zing for smooth, controlled warmth. Flat stainless steel ribbon wire is wound tightly around a tin-plated, hex-shaped steel core, giving your fingers a glassy playing surface while keeping the low end focused and mellow rather than aggressive.
- Gauges: .045, .065, .080, .100
- Flat stainless steel wrap wire for a smooth, low-friction feel
- Hex-shaped, tin-plated high carbon steel core for reliable durability and intonation
- Brass ball ends machined to precise tolerances for a secure, consistent fit
Because the wrap wire lies flat instead of round, there’s less string noise and fret wear, making this set a favorite for players chasing that classic, thumpy vintage bass tone — think old-school R&B, jazz, and reggae lines. The tin-plated core resists corrosion and helps the strings hold their feel over time, while the precision-cut brass ball ends ensure they seat properly at the bridge every time.
Whether you’re retrofitting a bass that’s only known roundwounds or building a dedicated flatwound instrument, this Group III set delivers a mellow, refined voice with the string stability players expect from Ernie Ball.
