Guitar Strings
The 1690 Slinky Nickel Wound string with a gauge of 90, dedicated to electric bass guitars, was designed by Ernie Ball to offer a balanced sound profile enriched with harmonics thanks to the use of a hexagonal tin-plated steel core and a round wire in nickel plated steel.

Presentation
A true pioneer in the rock’n’roll universe, Ernie Ball made history with his Slinky series. This consists of strings for electric guitars that are very popular across the globe, like the 1690 Slinky Nickel Wound model with a gauge of 90.
Sold individually, this string delivers balanced sound quality and pleasant harmonies that delight many bass players. These are the result of specially developed alloys such as nickel-plated steel, for its round wire, and tin-plated steel, for its hexagonal core.
The use of top quality materials also gives better resistance over time to Slinky strings, all manufactured in Coachella, California, since 1962.
