Description
If your last set of roundwounds is sounding zingy and thin, it might be time to feel what flats do to your low end. This Jim Dunlop long scale 4-string set (.040-.060-.080-.100) delivers a smooth, glassy surface under your fingers and a fundamental that’s rock-solid from the first note to the last dead string swap.
- Steel flatwound construction, long scale, 4-string set
- Gauges: 40, 60, 80, 100
- Lower tension design for a comfortable, consistent feel string to string
- Even tone and output across the set
- Sealed in a protective bag to stay fresh until you break the seal
- Made in the USA
What makes flats worth the switch: dial your tone knob back and you get that deep, mellow vintage thump that built entire genres of funk, R&B, and rock bass lines. Push it forward and there’s still enough punch and articulation to keep things modern and defined. That range in one string is why flatwounds never really went away — they just went quiet for a while.
Dunlop builds these in small batches at their Benicia, California shop, running gear slower and paying closer attention at every winding stage instead of rushing volume. That’s the kind of obsession you want going into a string that’s supposed to outlast every set you’ve ever swapped in a hurry. Grab a set, feel the difference under your hands, and stop settling for strings that lose their voice after a week.
