Ernie Ball 2856 Regular Slinky Medium Scale bass strings 45-105 – perfect fit for medium scale (82.55 cm) with classic Slinky feel
When your bass is medium scale, the correct string length is the difference between a bass that plays cleanly and feels natural, and a bass that struggles with fit, tuning and intonation. Ernie Ball 2856 Regular Slinky Medium Scale is made specifically for instruments with a scale length up to 82.55 cm, so you get the correct length from the very first restring. The result is a stable, predictable feel under your fingers and the familiar “Regular Slinky” playability that makes it easy to keep the groove and dynamics – whether you play fingerstyle or with a pick.
The strings are built as nickel-plated roundwounds on a hexagonal steel core, delivering a firm, responsive attack with a bright, balanced tone. The surface is classic shiny metal with a clearly defined spiral winding, so you feel the direct contact and the punchy definition that roundwounds are known for. You get plenty of bite and sustain, and the tone cuts clearly through the mix without losing low end and fullness.
This set is a safe all-round choice if you want a standard gauge 45–105 with balanced tension that feels “right” across styles. It’s ideal for medium scale basses and also fits many short scale/string-through solutions, where the length needs to be spot on to avoid poor fit at the bridge and nut. You get 4 strings in a complete set, ready to give your bass a fresh, lively attack and a more defined low end.
