Description
When you need a reliable low string that locks in tight and rings true, the Ernie Ball .048 Nickel Wound Electric delivers. It’s built the same way as the rest of the Nickel Wound family: nickel-plated steel wire wrapped tightly around a tin-plated, hex-shaped steel core. That hex core is what keeps intonation locked in and tuning stable, string after string, bend after bend.
The plain strings in this series use specially tempered, tin-plated high-carbon steel, giving you a bright attack that settles into a warm, balanced tone rather than something harsh or thin. It’s the classic nickel wound voice guitarists have leaned on for decades – articulate highs, solid low-end thump, and enough snap to cut through a mix without losing warmth.
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire over tin-plated hex steel core
- Tin-plated, specially tempered high-carbon steel plain strings
- Part of Ernie Ball’s Nickel Wound Electric line, also available in gauges .008, .011, .014, .022w, .030, .038
If your low end has gone dull, dead-feeling, or just won’t stay in tune, swapping in fresh Nickel Wound strings is the fastest fix in your gig bag. Keep a few sets in your case – StringRush makes restringing a habit, not a chore.
