If you play a short scale bass and want that classic flatwound feel, the D'Addario ECB81S XL Chromes are the short scale version of D'Addario's best-selling flatwound set. These strings are wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire and then polished to an ultra-smooth surface — the result is a dark, warm tone with zero finger noise and a silky feel under the fretting hand.
The ECB81S fits short scale basses with a scale length of up to 32 inches. The 45-100 Regular Light gauge set strikes a balance between playability and full low-end response. All D'Addario XL Chromes are manufactured in the USA and come in corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly packaging so the strings stay fresh until you're ready to put them on.
