The Ernie Ball 2812 Regular Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings. These innovative strings provide an unparalleled combination of comfort and contemporary tone. The flatwound design delivers a silk-like feel under your fingers while the cobalt-infused wrap wire pumps out full, punchy bass with crisp highs and rich harmonics. Whether you're a rocker, jazz cat or studio hound, these strings will transform your bass into a smooth-sounding dream machine. Ernie Ball's 2812 Flatwounds are redefining what flatwound strings can do.

Cobalt-Powered Tone

Ernie Ball's proprietary cobalt alloy adds brightness, clarity and power to the flatwound design. The result is a fat, beefy tone with solid lows, focused mids and singing highs. Plug in and you'll get warm, throaty growl with clear note definition and impressive dynamic range. Harmonics leap out with bell-like resonance and sustain goes on for days. For flatwounds, these strings pack a serious sonic punch thanks to the cobalt-fueled tone.

Silky-Smooth Feel

While the tone is bold and powerful, the feel remains classically flatwound. The flat wire wrap is polished to a glassy-smooth finish that glides under your fingers with virtually no friction. Bends, slides and vibrato flow with ease, allowing for highly expressive playing. On a fretless bass, these strings provide the ultimate experience in velvet-soft glissandos and creamy pitch transitions. The comfort factor of these strings is off the charts.

Versatile and Balanced

With a gauge range of .050 to .105, the 2812 Flatwounds provide balanced tension and flexibility across the fretboard. The medium gauge works for a variety of bass types and playing styles from rock to jazz to R&B. The all-around versatility and smooth, full tone of these strings make them a perfect choice for studio work where a rich, polished sound is required. For live playing, they give you power and projection with a luxurious feel.

High Quality and Dependability

Like all Ernie Ball strings, the 2812 Flatwounds are made from the finest materials using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. Ernie Ball is dedicated to producing strings of the highest quality, consistency and durability. You can count on these strings to deliver peak performance, gig after gig.
