Ernie Ball 5 string flats

Sign in to disble this ad
Lookin at ernie ball flats for my 5 string and mostly concerned with the B string as that seems to be the big problem with 5 string flats. Any one have any experience? Im usually a chromes fan but have heard many people find the B string to just thud more than anything and it's been so long since I've owned them myself I don't remember

+1 I bought a pair recently and am thinking about using them on my 35 scale jazz... do you think they'll be long enough? Are they good strings?

I use EBMM Group I flats on all my fivers with no issues.
