- 5-string: Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2836.

Check the scale length
These are long (standard) scale sets, which fit most Fender-style basses. Short, medium and super-long scale basses need scale-specific sets, so check before you order.
Roundwound or flatwound?
Roundwounds are brighter, with more growl and finger noise; flatwounds are smooth, darker and last a long time. Many players keep one bass in each.
