Description

D'addario Chromes Bass Strings

D'addario Chromes Bass Strings are Flatwound using a flattened ribbon wire that is polished to a smooth finish.
D'addario Chromes deliver a silky warm mellow tone that bass players love so much. The rich low bottom gives that flat wound sound as used in different genres like Jazz and R&B. They have however a wide range of tones depending on set up and technique. These strings are perfect for the double mute tick tack tone that old R&B bass players used to have.

Daddario Chromes Bass Strings maintain their sustain as they age but emphasise the lower mid frequencies that meld well with the bass drum.

    The sound I was looking for!

    Posted by Stephen Pomorski on 27th Sep 2025

    Having recently upgraded to a Fender American Pro II Jazz bass and Ampeg Portaflex valve amp,I wasn't happy with the factory roundwound string sound that came installed on my new bass. I replaced the strings on my Hoffner with flatwounds a few years ago and they still sound as new,so I expect these D'Addario ECB81's to last a long time,also.Another benefit is flatwound strings won't wear the frets as quick as roundwound strings. These strings have a bright,punchy sound and respond to a variety of musical styles on my bass so I expect to buy these again in future and be kind to my fingertips!
