Description
If you’ve been chasing that vintage low-end warmth without giving up clarity, this Dunlop flatwound set is worth stringing up next. It’s a 4-string, long scale pack in gauges 45, 65, 85, and 105 — steel construction, built to bring back the sound that shaped classic rock, funk, and R&B bass lines.
What makes flatwounds special is the range hiding under your fingertips. Leave the tone knob open and you get a punchy, articulate voice that still feels current. Roll it back and the strings settle into that deep, mellow thump flatwounds are legendary for. Dunlop tuned each set for lower tension and even output string to string, so that shift in tone stays smooth and consistent across the whole neck.
These aren’t strings designed on a spreadsheet. Dunlop builds them at their Benicia, California facility using slower-run machines and smaller batches, which means more hands-on control at every stage of production. That attention shows up in the feel and consistency of the set once it’s on your bass. Each pack is also sealed for freshness, so the strings are ready to perform the day you open them, not the day they were spooled.
Dunlop brings over 50 years of string-making knowledge into every set, shaped by direct feedback from touring players who need gear that holds up night after night. Made in the USA.
