Ernie Ball 2800 Flatwound GR1 Short Scale

Ernie Ball 2800 Flatwound GR1 Short Scale – warm, thumpy bass tone and a silky-smooth playing feel

Ernie Ball 2800 Flatwound GR1 Short Scale is a flatwound bass string set for those who want the classic deep, warm fundamental, with a more focused “thump” and less zing on top. You get a sound that sits solidly in the mix, and a playing experience that feels fast and controlled – perfect when you want a strong foundation rather than sharp overtones.

The flatwound construction provides a smooth, tape-like surface that typically reduces finger noise significantly, especially during slides and position changes. The wrap is made from stainless steel as a flat ribbon wrap over a steel core, delivering a tight, consistent feel and a tone that stays more consistent over time. At the same time, stainless steel is a strong choice when you want good corrosion resistance and long service life in everyday use.

The set is designed for Short Scale electric bass (typically around 76.2 cm scale length), so you get the correct fit and more balanced tension on shorter necks. Important: The exact winding length and the precise gauges/thicknesses for the 2800 are not stated here, so please double-check the measurements on the packaging or your bass’ specifications if you are on the borderline between short scale and other scales, or if you have a bridge/string-through setup that requires extra length.
