Overview

The Ernie Ball Nickel Wound 6-string Electric Bass Strings are crafted from nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core wire. Designed specifically for 29 5/8" scale basses, these strings produce a bright, balanced tone. Unlike traditional electric bass strings, they are manufactured with small ball ends (similar to electric guitar strings) to perfectly accommodate specialized hardware.

Important Note: This set may not be compatible with reverse headstocks.
