D'Addario ECB81M Chromes Flat Wound Electric Bass Strings Light Medium Scale

D'Addario's ECB81M Chromes Flat Wound Electric Bass Strings feature stainless steel ribbon wire wound onto a high carbon steel core to produce a tone renowned for its warmth and richness. The Chrome's polished stainless steel wrap wire glides effortlessly over frets for a silky smooth feel and minimal finger noise. Whether you play jazz, R&B, pop or any genre calling for a thick, punchy low end, the ECB81M Chromes Bass Strings are engineered to please.

Flat Wound Construction Provides Distinctive Tone

The ECB81M Chromes' stainless steel ribbon wire is flattened then precision wound onto the string's high carbon steel cores. This flat wound construction produces the string's signature mellow, vintage-inspired tone with pronounced bottom end and midrange. The Chrome's tone blends beautifully into any mix, cutting through while also providing a solid foundation for the bass line.

Polished Wrap Wire Enables Smooth Playability

After winding, the ECB81M Chromes' stainless steel wrap wire is polished to a mirror-smooth finish. This polished surface enables the strings to glide effortlessly over frets with minimal friction for a slick, buttery feel. The polished wrap wire also helps reduce finger noise, allowing bassists to move freely across the fretboard without unwanted string squeak.

Light Medium Gauge Offers Even Tension and Punchy Lows

The ECB81M Chromes feature a light medium 40-100 gauge range that provides relatively even tension and a punchy low end. The lighter 40 gauge E string makes higher register playing comfortable while the heavier 100 gauge B string delivers a tight, robust low end. This gauge range suits the needs of most bassists seeking thick, prominent lows and a vintage flat wound tone.
