Description
Flatwounds aren’t for everyone, but once you’ve felt the ribbon-smooth surface of a set of Fender 9050s under your fingers, going back to rounds can feel rough by comparison. These are stainless steel flatwound strings built for players chasing that vintage, thumped-out low end — think reggae basslines, walking jazz, country twang, or R&B pockets that sit deep in the mix.
The stainless steel construction keeps finger noise to a minimum while giving you a tone that’s warm without going dull. That’s the flatwound trade-off done right: sustain and tuning stability stay locked in, so you’re not fighting the strings to stay in pitch while you’re digging into a groove night after night.
This set is medium-light gauge, running .050-.100, and built as long scale strings for electric bass only. If .050-.100 isn’t your spot, Fender also makes this same 9050 flatwound in light and medium gauges, so you can dial in the tension and feel that matches your right hand.

If your bass has been sounding clanky and thin, swapping in a fresh set of these flatwounds might be the reset your tone’s been asking for.
