If you play a 5-string bass, there's a good chance you've already tried a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys — they're one of the most widely used bass string sets out there for a reason. This is the P02836: a roundwound, nickel-plated steel set sized specifically for 5-string electric bass, gauged .045, .065, .080, .100, and .130.
The wrap wire is nickel-plated steel wound over a tin-plated, hex-shaped high-carbon steel core. That hex core helps keep the wrap wire locked in place for consistent intonation from string to string. The roundwound construction gives you a bright, articulate character with a clear attack — a good all-around choice for most playing styles on electric bass. Each set ships sealed in Ernie Ball's Element Shield packaging, an airtight foil pack designed to keep the strings fresh until you're ready to string up.
