Crafted in the spirit of the original 1962 Slinky strings, Ernie Ball's 1390 Slinky Stainless Steel Bass String 90 offers modern bassists a smooth playing experience. However, it is above all its sound profile that sets it apart from other strings.

This model has round stainless steel wiring. Among guitarists, this material is renowned for offering both a sound of great clarity and significant sustain. This 90 gauge Slinky Stainless Steel rope is no exception to the rule! This is the very reason that pushes bass players looking for a more punchy sound to adopt it.
