Our take on the Dunlop Flatwound Electric Bass Strings Short Scale Set - 4-String 45-105 DBFS45105S

These are stainless steel flatwound bass strings in a 4-string set (.045 to .105) built for short scale, top-loaded basses with a traditional bridge. Dunlop designed them for lower tension and easy flexibility, with consistent tone and output across all four strings. They give a clear, punchy fundamental that turns deep and mellow when you roll off the tone. They suit players who want a modern flatwound sound with the option of the classic thump, and they compete with other flats on feel and tension rather than on brightness.

Questions and answers

Will these fit my short scale bass?
They are made for short scale, top-loaded instruments with a traditional bridge. The winding length is 32 inches from ball to silk, so check that against your bass before buying.
Do these sound bright or mellow?
They are a modern, punchy flatwound with a clear fundamental. Rolling off the tone knob on your bass brings out the classic deep, mellow thump.
What gauges are in the set?
The set runs .045, .065, .085 and .105. That is a standard medium-light range for a 4-string bass.
Are they stainless steel?
Yes. Dunlop makes these flatwounds from stainless steel, with black silk on both ends.
How do they compare with roundwound strings?
Flatwounds like these have a smoother feel and a warmer, more fundamental tone. Roundwounds are brighter and more aggressive, so the choice comes down to the sound you want.
Do they fit through-body stringing?
They are specified for top-loaded instruments with a traditional bridge. Check your bass's stringing before you install them.
