Description
The ETB92 set from D’Addario brings a distinctly vintage voice to fretted or fretless bass guitars, built around a flattened black nylon wrap that’s polished down to a satin-smooth finish. Rather than the bright zing of roundwounds, these strings favor a rounded, woody character — think somewhere between the low-end thump of an upright bass and the mellow focus of a good flatwound set.
- Wound gauges: .050, .065, .085, .105
- Flattened black nylon wrap for a warm, deep tone and ultra-smooth playing surface
- Engineered tension and gauging matched to standard bass saddles and nuts
- Long scale construction, fitting basses with scale lengths up to 36 1/4 inches
- Made in the U.S.A. on D’Addario’s precision, digitally controlled machinery
Because the core and wrap are built for consistent tension across the set, the ETB92 strings feel balanced from string to string, and the nylon tape wrap is kind to frets and fingerboards alike — a favorite trait among fretless players. D’Addario’s manufacturing process and corrosion-resistant packaging keep these strings performing set after set, backing up their reputation as a go-to choice for players chasing that classic tape-wound growl.
