The D'Addario ETB92 wraps a flattened black nylon tape around a precision hex core, polished to an ultra-smooth finish. The result is a string that feels completely different from a standard roundwound — no rough texture, no finger squeak — while still fitting right on standard bass saddles and nuts like any other set.
These are a 4-string, long scale set (fits basses up to 36" scale) in medium gauge, running .050–.105. They work on fretted or fretless basses, and the nylon winding is particularly gentle on fretless fingerboards. The tone lands somewhere between an upright bass thump and the focused mid-range of a flatwound — makes them a natural fit for jazz, R&B, reggae, or any style that calls for a warm, mellow character over brightness and bite.
