Ernie Ball P01785 .085 Flatwound Electric Bass String

The Ernie Ball P01785 .085 Flatwound Electric Bass String is a single replacement bass string designed for players who prefer the smooth feel and mellow tonal character of traditional flatwounds. Ernie Ball’s official Australian product page confirms SKU P01785 as the exact .085 gauge flatwound electric bass single string.

The string is constructed with stainless steel ribbon and nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a hex-shaped tin-plated steel wire core. Ernie Ball specifies an overall string length of 48 inches with a 37.25-inch taper.

Stainless Steel Flatwound Construction

The flatwound construction provides a smoother playing surface than a traditional roundwound string while delivering the mellow sound profile Ernie Ball specifies for this series. The .085 gauge makes this suitable as an individual replacement string or for building a custom-gauge bass set.

Single Replacement Bass String

Australian retailer The Music Shop independently lists P01785 as an Ernie Ball .085 Gauge Flatwound Electric Bass Guitar String and confirms that the listing is for one individual bass string.
