Ernie Ball Slinky Bass Strings
 | A popular set of strings from Ernie Ball that are very affordably priced, slinky are rather smooth nickel roundwounds with a tempered core. The various names such as "regular" and "hybrid" slinky refer only to string gauge. |

Slinky strings are very bright out of the box with lots of high end treble- very metallic, and the word “brittle” has shown up in several reviews. These strings mellow out rather quickly. I have personally used these strings on tour, but always in more of a jazz context so the darker sound worked well for me for quite a long lifespan- but many users are disappointed in this aspect of it. Users who play very aggressively, particularly with slap/pop, say that slinkys have a higher risk of breaking and do not recommend them.
These strings are very well priced. They feel rather smooth for a roundwound string, and do not have any silk wrapping.
