Description
If you’ve never lived with flatwounds, ECB81M will change how you think a bass can feel under your fingers. D’Addario Chromes are built with a flattened stainless steel ribbon wire, then polished down to a glass-smooth surface — no ridges, no finger squeak, just pure movement across the string. Swap out a dead set of rounds for these and the difference is immediate: warmer, mellower, thicker in the low end, with that damped, woody thump that only flats can give you.
This is the medium scale version of D’Addario’s best-selling flatwound bass set, fitting basses with a scale length up to 34 inches. The tone here isn’t an accident — Chromes have been the go-to flatwound for jazz and R&B players for decades, and they slide effortlessly into contemporary pop work too when you need low end that sits back and supports rather than cuts through.
- Gauges: .045, .065, .080, .100 (all wound)
- Ribbon wound flatwound construction, polished smooth
- Medium scale, fits up to 34″ scale length basses
- Deep, warm, rich tone suited to jazz, R&B and pop
- Made in the U.S.A. on precision digitally-controlled machinery
Every set comes from D’Addario’s proprietary manufacturing process, so what you get set after set is consistent — same feel, same tone, no surprises. Add a fresh set of ECB81M to your rotation and hear what mellow, controlled low end actually sounds like.
