The D'Addario ECB82 XL Chromes are a 4-string, medium gauge flatwound bass string set made for long scale basses. If you've been curious about flatwounds — or you already know you want them — the Chromes are a reliable place to land. They're wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire, then polished for an ultra-smooth surface that cuts down on finger noise and is noticeably easier on your hands and frets compared to roundwounds.
The ECB82 is D'Addario's medium gauge set in the Chromes line, with gauges running .050, .070, .085, and .105. That medium tension gives you a firm, full feel with a strong low-end response. The hex-shaped high carbon steel core keeps intonation accurate and the wrap wire seated consistently across all four strings. These fit any long scale bass with a scale length up to 36¼ inches. They're a popular choice among jazz, R&B, and pop players who want that warm, damped flatwound character. Made in the USA and packed in D'Addario's corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly VCI packaging so the strings stay fresh until you're ready to put them on.
