Ernie Ball 2821 Power Slinky 5-String Electric Bass Strings - 50-135 Gauge

Ernie Ball 2821 Power Slinky Bass 5 Nickel Roundwound Set
The Ernie Ball 2821 Power Slinky set strings a 5-string electric bass with a heavier 50-135 gauge, giving you extra tension, a tight and punchy low B and a powerful low end. Nickel-plated steel wraps over a tin-plated, high-carbon steel hex core for the bright, balanced tone Slinky bass strings are known for, and every set is made in Ernie Ball's Coachella, California factory and sealed in Element Shield packaging so it stays fresh until you open it. A strong choice for rock, metal and drop tunings.

Heavier Gauge for a Tighter Low B
At .050, .070, .085, .105 and .135, the Power Slinky set is a step heavier than the Regular Slinky 5-string set (45-130). The extra string mass adds tension across the neck, which firms up the low B so it stays focused and articulate instead of flabby, and gives you a fuller feel under the fingers when you dig in. That makes it a favourite for aggressive playing, rock and metal, and for players who tune down and still want the strings to feel solid.

Signature Slinky Construction
Ernie Ball builds its Slinky bass strings around a specific recipe of gauges and core-to-wrap ratios for balanced, rich harmonics and that signature Slinky feel. Precision-wound nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a tin-plated, high-carbon steel hex core produces a bright, balanced roundwound tone with plenty of clarity and punch, and it suits every electric bass type and playing style, from fingerstyle and pick to slap.

Fresh From the Factory
Every string is made in Ernie Ball's Coachella, California factory. Element Shield is a water-tight packet that resists humidity, so your strings are as fresh as the day they were made when you fit them. This is a long scale set for standard 34" scale 5-string basses.
