From the bridge end of the strings to the tuner end Blue windings, they are about 32.3 inches. So if your "end of string to nut" is 32 inches, they should be about right. They sound nice and have virtually no finger zip noise. **Q: I've been using D'Addario Nickel Round Wound 45-105 bass strings. Will these strings require a setup for my bass, these are higher tension strings.** A: Cdub53, switching from the D'Addario 45-105's to ECB81's will have a minuscule, perhaps not even noticeable effect on your bass. In the event that there is a change, a tech in your area may be able to perform a slight adjustment for less than the cost of a full set up. If you're interested in pursuing the flat-wound sound, a small investment (around $20.00) may be worth it. **Q: Which set of the xl chromes would be best for a harley benton stingray?** A: That's a 34" scale bass. The medium scale set (ECB81M) would not work. You'd have silk wrapping below the nut. D'Addario's ECB81 series comes in a number of lengths, short, medium, long, and super-long scales and several gauges. (But unfortunately for me, no medium scale/medium gauge.) The set for your bass is probably the ECB81 (long scale). You probably don't need the "SL" super long, because it's a regular bridge, not string-through-body. After that, it's a matter of personal preference for sound and feel. The ECB80s are softer feeling. The ECB82s are firmer. The ECB84s supposedly sound more roundwound, but are still flats. (I haven't used them.) The ECB92 series are tapewound for a thumpy, standup bass sort of sound. **Q: Will these work on an acoustic bass? I know they are designed for electric bass, but I have heard of people using flatwound on their acoustic basses.** A: The tension required for these strings may be too much for an acoustic bass.Tapewound strings may work, but it is best to contact the manufacturer of you acousyic bass to find out if the D'Addario flatwounds are safe for your acoustic bass. Depending on which AB you have, the bridge may not be strong enough for these strings, and could severely damage your bass. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario XL Chromes Flat Wound Bass Guitar Strings - ECB82 - Long Scale - Medium, 50-105 - D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XL Nickel Half Rounds, ENR72, Long Scale, Medium Gauge 50-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1363626-daddario-xl-chromes-flatwound-bass-strings-ecb82-50-105-medium](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1363626-daddario-xl-chromes-flatwound-bass-strings-ecb82-50-105-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
