D’Addario ECB81 XL Chromes Flatwound Bass Guitar Strings – Regular Light (45-100) Long Scale

Description

Unlock classic vintage thump and a silky-smooth playing experience with the D’Addario ECB81 XL Chromes Flatwound Bass Strings. As D’Addario’s best-selling flatwound bass set, these Regular Light (.045–.100) strings are the industry standard for players demanding a deep, rich low-end without sacrificing presence. The secret lies in the construction: D’Addario takes a high-carbon steel Hex-Core and winds it with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire. Every string is then precisely polished to an unparalleled, smooth finish. The result is a warm, mellow tone reminiscent of an upright bass, making them the ultimate flatwound choice for Jazz, R&B, Motown, and Pop musicians. By drastically reducing finger noise and fret drag, the ECB81 set offers effortless playability for both studio recording and live performances. Key Features Industry Standard Vintage Tone: Flattened stainless steel ribbon wire provides a dark, warm, and mellow fundamental tone with zero finger squeak. Regular Light Gauge: Features a balanced tension profile across .045, .065, .080, and .100 gauges for excellent playability and a tight low end. Long Scale Design: Optimized for 4-string electric basses with a string scale length up to 36 1/4 inches (perfect for standard 34″ scale basses).
