Gauges: 45, 65, 85, 105 Bass - Steel - Long Scale - 4-String Set
These flats do versatility like no other. You get that mellow thump you've heard on all those classic records, plus a more modern, punchy voice with real clarity up front—and that whole range is yours to shape with your technique and your tone control. Best of all, the lower tension and flexibility make them easy as all get out to play.
Warranty Information
We started with a simple question: What should a great flatwound string actually sound like? After years of refining the answer with working musicians, we hunkered down in the String Lab and landed on a voice that captures the classic sound of flats with the playability and clarity that modern players expect.
Your hands set the character here. Dig in with a pick for a nice round honk and clear, articulate notes. Throw in a palm mute and it's pure vintage thump. Fingerstyle gives you a full, warm tone with a touch more definition than you'd expect from broken-in flats.
Flats are all about the fundamental. Just play a note and let it ring. Listen for how it settles into a focused, confident foundation that holds steady and sits beautifully in a mix.
Just like technique, your tone knob sets the character. Roll it back for classic, mellow warmth. Open it up and you'll be stunned by the articulation in each note.
It's not just the tone that wins you over with our flats. It's the playability, too. We make them with lower tension so they'll go where you take them, with a smooth, expressive response that makes them a joy to play.
You find out pretty quickly whether a bass string is any good when you're playing it every night. Touring musicians told us what held up, what didn't, and what they wished every string would do. We took that feedback back to the String Lab and kept refining until we got there.
The best gear isn't the gear you notice—it's the gear you stop thinking about because it simply works. That's been Dunlop's philosophy for more than 60 years, and it's the same mindset behind every string we build.
Every Dunlop string is manufactured in California using carefully selected American-made materials chosen for their tone, consistency, and feel. From raw materials to final winding, every detail is built to our exact standards.
