Description
The ECB81M set brings D’Addario’s Chromes flatwound construction to medium scale basses, pairing a stainless steel core with a flattened ribbon-style outer wrap. Rather than the bright zing of roundwounds, these strings are polished to a glassy, smooth finish that translates into a deep, rounded low end and a warm midrange — the signature sound behind countless jazz, R&B, and pop bass lines.
- Flatwound stainless steel construction for a mellow, damped tone with plenty of low-end depth
- Ribbon wire wrap polished smooth, reducing finger noise and easing string wear on frets
- Built for medium scale basses, accommodating scale lengths up to 34 inches
- Gauges: .045, .065, .080, .100 (wound)
- Manufactured in the U.S.A. on D’Addario’s digitally controlled equipment for set-to-set consistency
Chromes have earned their reputation as the world’s most popular flatwound bass strings, and this medium scale set delivers that same classic character to instruments needing the shorter length. Whether you’re chasing a vintage flat-tone thump or just want smoother strings under your fingers, ECB81M offers a dependable, road-tested tone that’s stayed a studio and stage favorite for decades.
D’Addario’s packaging is also designed to cut down on waste while shielding the strings from corrosion before they ever hit your bass.
