D'Addario (45-100) Chromes ECB81 Long Scale Flatwound Bass Guitar Strings

Chromes are made by winding a flattened stainless steel ribbon wrap onto interlocking under-windings over a high-carbon steel Hex-Core, then polishing the finished string. The set is uncoated, sealed in a corrosion barrier sleeve and packed in a recyclable VCI bag carrying a D'Addario Players Circle code. Made in D'Addario's New York facility.

What it fits

• Four-string electric basses with a long scale
• D'Addario's scale guide puts the taper of its Long Scale bass strings at the 36 7/8in mark from the ball end; measure from where the ball end sits in the bridge to the top of the nut to check the fit
