D'Addario Chrome Flatwound CG045 XL .045 inches 1.14 mm Single String

Stays in tune well

I needed one flat wound string for my bass. I never realized how difficult it is to find one! Most companies sell them in a package. Or have one that sells for nearly as much as a set.
Strings by mail was the only company that kept it real. I’m
very impressed with the quick response and follow up after the order. They treated me like I was ordering a truck load of strings!

Purchasing single strings from Strings By Mail allows me to create perfectly balanced string sets for all of my guitars.

I’ve been trying different strings on a custom thinline semi-solid body. I’ve settled on 0.0105, 0.0135, 0.018 plain and .026, .035 and .045 flat wound, all from D’Addario. The “Chromes” flat wound are very bright while being very quiet for solo playing. I also appreciate SBM’s selection of single strings and how easy they make it to configure custom sets. Thanks.
