Each bass guitar string produces a bright, balanced tone and is manufactured with the freshest and finest raw materials in the beautiful Coachella Valley of Southern California. Gauges .045, .065, .080, .100, .130. Review: High quality strings - Outstanding quality bass strings. They went on with ease and sound great. Review: great all-purpose strings - These give a nice blend of punch, growl, warmth, and brightness for all-purpose playing. I have super-slinkies on my 4-string for a more aggressive tone, but this is a nice middle-of-the-road string. They're easy to play, not so thick as to prevent you from shredding (I have super-thick flatwounds on my fretless and it's impossible to shred with those). They go bad more quickly than Elixers or other coated strings, but I prefer the brighter tone of these. ## Features - Ernie Ball Bass Slinkys are played by legendary bands around the world including Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Zac Brown Band, Green Day, and Avenged Sevenfold - Our most popular 5-string bass set, Regular Slinky 5 is preferred by players of many styles ad genres - Rich, balanced tone - Element Shield Packaging prolongs string life and keeps strings as fresh as the day they were made - Made in California, USA with the freshest and finest materials ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000P5ZQ54 | | Best Sellers Rank | #82 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1 in Bass Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Steel | | Brand | Ernie Ball | | Brand Name | Ernie Ball | | Coating Description | coated | | Color | 5-string Regular (45-130) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,791 Reviews | | Finish Type | Nickel Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00749699128366 | | Included Components | Bass Guitar Strings (Set of 5) | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Type Name | Bass Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Ernie Ball Music Man | | Manufacturer Part Number | P02836 | | Material Type | Steel | | Model Name | Regular Slinky | | Model Number | P02836 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bass Guitar | | Set Name | Regular Slinky | | Sound Profile | Balanced | | String Gauge | .045 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | UPC | 749699128366 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | None. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ernie Ball - **Color:** 5-string Regular (45-130) - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **String Gauge:** .045 - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![5-String Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, 45-130 Gauge (P02836) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SbHPQy1aL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What’s the length in inches of these strings?** A: Unless otherwise noted, all of our bass strings are 48" in length and designed for basses with a scale length of 34". **Q: What are good for rock?** A: Slinky are basically made for Rock! Bright, but also well rounded tones. Hope that helps. **Q: Will these work on rbx jm2 John Myung signature?** A: Hi there, If the scale length of the bass is around 34 or 35 inches it should work. Also John Myung's name appears on the back as an endorsed artists for the strings. Hope this helps! **Q: Which set would be good for drop B?** A: A larger string gauge will produce higher tension. When you drop your tuning that higher tension will help retain note clarity and power. Go for the Power Slinky or buy an even larger 5 string set and use only the biggest 4 strings. You'll have to adjust the truss rod and bridge afterwards. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality strings *by H***N on August 5, 2026* Outstanding quality bass strings.
