Ernie Ball completes his range of Slinky Flatwound strings!

Ernie Ball has extended its range of Slinky Flatwound strings, ideal for guitarists looking for a rounded sound or who want to reduce finger noise on the strings. The range includes three tie-bars for electric guitar and two new Short Scale tie-bars for bass.

Electric guitar

Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Electric Guitar Strings combine the classic, roundwound Slinky tone, and effortless playability you love, with the beautifully smooth texture and reduced finger noise of a traditional flatwound. Wound with a patented cobalt alloy ribbon, the result is a set of strings perfect for any player looking to add an entirely new enhancement to their sonic arsenal.

FLAT FEEL

Patented Cobalt alloy ribbon wrap wire is precisely polished to provide the smoothest possible feel with the least amount of finger noise.

ROUND SOUND

By using our Cobalt alloy ribbon wire we are able to preserve that classic Slinky tone.

PLAIN G

A plain G string along with lighter gauge combinations allow for easy bending and soloing compared to traditional flatwound strings.

Electric bass

Ernie Ball Slinky Flatwound Short Scale Bass Strings combine the smooth feel of traditional flatwounds and the power of Cobalt. Featuring a Cobalt ribbon wrap, Cobalt underwraps and optimal hex-core to wrap ratio, the new Flatwound Short Scale bass strings are the first flat that actually feels like a flat and sounds like a round.
