Review: Perfect! - Bought these to replace some terrible jazz flat wounds I bought, these were much better, silky smooth, tune really well and are a joy to play. Highly recommended especially as they are well priced (For flat wound strings, which are a rip off). Just be careful though, I bought these for a short scale bass, do not get that confused with a full size or you will be disappointed when they don't fit. Very happy with these and will buy again!
Review: Best 'Modern' Flats - Good ballenced tension from string to string. Even tone from string to string. Good sastain (for flats). No intonation issues (common to many 'old school' flats). Very bright (for flats) when new; real ringing bell like quality to the tone. Slightly scooped, great bottom end. Once they've broken in, they get really smooth, they retain their bottom end, sastain and keep a high mid presence which meens they stay brighter than most flats. They retain their tone longer than any other string I've tried (good if you want their fresh tone, bad if you like their broken in tone). If you want super 'old school' thump, these probably aren't the flat for you. If you want a brighter 'modern' flat then these are the string. They have an odd sticky texture, but they polish up relatively quickly. Good thick blue silks.

## Features

- MELLOW TONE XL Chromes are a flat wound electric bass string, which provide a mellower tone than round wound strings.

- HEX-CORE Like all D’Addario bass strings, XL Chromes are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and reliable durability.
- EARN REWARD POINTS Chromes sets have a code on the recyclable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.
- MADE IN THE USA – D’Addario bass guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these supposed to have, 1/2 way along, a bump?  My professional musician son has been unable to string these onto my violin bass,.**
A: This violin bass was invented by Hohner as were the strings for them. You must only use the specialised strings that are made to fit this excellent bass. I have one D Tuned string still in the 1965 packet it was sold in. NOT FOR SALE!  The strings are are easy to find in music shop or or on Internet. God luck. Im 77 years old bass player since 1958

**Q: Hi I just got a new bass which is a 30.5 scale. Should i get short scale or medium? Thanks**
A: I have an Epiphone EB0 which has a 30.5 scale - I find mediums are perfect, for me short is just too short but it depends on the string length to the bridge and the string length from the nut to the machine heads

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best strings I've ever used.
*by G***H on 15 September 2016*

Great strings smooth as silk and a pleasure to play, nice deep tones without any annoying finger noise, these along with the D'Addario Tapewound Nylon covered strings are the only strings I use. Ok they look expensive but outlast cheaper strings many times over and no ridges or grooves to collect to collect gunk that deadens the sound. Just one point before you buy them, the ECB81M is for a medium scale bass (32" scale length) and are not suitable for either a 30" or 34" scale, on a 30" the silk winding will almost touch the first fret and on a 34" they will be to short, not really a problem as D'Addario make them in three sizes : ECB81S 30~30.5" scale bass. ECB81M 32" scale bass. ECB81 Long scale 34" scale bass. They really are worth the extra.
