Description
Six-string basses need strings that can keep up with the extra range, and Ernie Ball’s Slinky Long Scale set (2838) is built exactly for that job. The taper kicks in at 37 1/4″, so you get proper break angle and tension all the way from the low B up to the high C, with no dead spots or floppy feel on the low end.
These are round-wound nickel strings, which means you get that classic punchy attack up top paired with warmth underneath — clarity that stays defined even when you’re digging in on the low strings. Every string in the set is wound in Coachella Valley, Southern California, under Ernie Ball’s usual tight quality control, so pack to pack you’re getting consistent tone and feel.
Gauges in this single pack: .032 .045 .065 .080 .100 .130
If your current set is sounding flat, dull, or just tired, swapping to a fresh 2838 pack brings back the snap and low-end growl a 6-string is supposed to deliver. StringRush stocks these for players who restring often and know exactly why a dead set has to go.
