Description
Ernie Ball’s Power Slinky 2821 set brings the same nickel-wound formula that’s defined the Slinky line for decades, now sized for 5-string bass players who need extended low range without sacrificing tone. The round-wound construction gives each string a bright, articulate voice with the kind of punch that cuts through a mix, whether you’re locking in with a drummer or holding down a solo groove.
Every string in this set is produced at Ernie Ball’s facility in the Coachella Valley of Southern California, keeping manufacturing consistent from batch to batch. That consistency matters when you’re relying on your low B to stay stable under pitch and your high strings to ring clear against it.
The 2821 gauge set covers:
- .050
- .070
- .085
- .105
- .135
This spread is built to balance tension across a 5-string neck, giving you enough flexibility for aggressive playing styles while keeping the low B tight and defined rather than floppy or muddy.
This listing is for a single pack, so it’s a straightforward way to restring one bass or keep a spare set on hand. If you’re already familiar with Ernie Ball’s nickel-wound feel on 4-string sets, the Power Slinky 5-string extends that same response and playability down to the extra low range.
