Ernie Ball Coated Bass 5-String Gauges .045, .065, .080, .100, .130
Since the early 1960s, guitarists have been customizing their string gauges in Ernie Ball's music store. When major guitar manufacturers showed no interest in a lighter set of strings, Ernie Ball began making his own. Now, Ernie Ball strings are a trusted choice for players of all levels, and for good reason. Each set is designed to give you great tone, reliable performance, and long life. For example, the Ernie Ball Coated Electric Titanium RPS Super Slinky Strings feature the latest advancements in string manufacturing. All wound strings are treated with a micro-thin layer of enamel, which provides up to five times more protection against decay and corrosion. Each plain string also has a rust-resistant plating and a patented reinforcement winding of titanium wire, making them less likely to break or slip out of tune. These strings provide excellent protection while maintaining the vibrant tone that Ernie Ball customers have come to rely on for over 50 years. Similarly, the Ernie Ball Coated Bass Regular Bass 5 Strings offer solid tone and extended playability with their nickel-plated steel windings wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core wire. Whether you're an amateur or professional musician, you can't go wrong with Ernie Ball strings!
