The Model 1338 Slinky Stainless Steel Bass String 18 designed by Ernie Ball is a single string made of tin-coated steel wire. While such a design protects it from corrosion, allowing it to last longer, it also offers other advantages.

This smooth string is particularly aimed at bass players looking for a bright and clear sound. Adopting the same codes of the very famous Slinky series, of which it is part, it offers the flexibility sought by many musicians.

Indeed, the 1338 Slinky Stainless Steel Bass String with gauge 18 is the heir to the Slinky, these electric guitar strings which have delighted several big names in rock and roll since the 1960s. For this reason, Ernie Ball pays particular attention to the quality of this 100% American product by imposing strict specifications.
