Ernie Ball Nickel Wound Super Long Scale Electric Bass Strings are specifically designed for bass guitars with a 35" scale length. These strings are made from nickel-plated steel, which is wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core wire. This construction ensures durability and provides a balanced, bright tone.

The set of Ernie Ball Nickel Wound Super Long Scale Electric Bass Strings includes five strings with the following gauges: .045, .065, .085, .105, and .130. These gauges refer to the thickness of each individual string, with the numbers representing the string's diameter in inches. The thicker strings produce lower frequencies and provide a solid foundation for the bass guitar's low end, while the thinner strings offer greater flexibility for playing melodies and higher notes.

The overall string length is 50 inches, but there is a taper at 38 1/2 inches. This tapering allows the strings to fit properly and securely onto the bass guitar's bridge and tuning pegs. It's important to ensure that the strings are correctly installed and adjusted to maintain proper tension and intonation for optimal playability
