For over 60 years, Ernie Ball have been making their strings in the USA. Ernie Ball have been the premier choice of musicians around the world. In 1962, Ernie pioneered electric guitar strings by creating new recipes that would become the voice of Rock and Roll and inspire musicians for generations to come. Manufactured in Coachella, California. Made from the finest materials using state-of-the-art winding technology while undergoing strict quality control standards. To give you the best possible playing experience.
Ernie Ball Guitar Strings are iconic. From the Nickel Wound Slinkys, Stainless Steel Strings and Cobalt Flats. Nickel Wound electric guitar strings are the industry standard. These strings have a nickel-plated steel wrap wire, providing a bright, balanced tone. For a warmer, vintage tone try Slinky Classics, which use a pure nickel wrap wire. On the other side of the spectrum, Stainless Steel Slinkys deliver a bright tone. They have the perfect match for any kind of guitar player and playing style.
Used by some of the greatest bass players in the world. Including Paul McCartney, Tony Levin, Mark Hoppus, Mike Herrera, Johnny Christ, Dave La Rue, John Myung, and Juan Alderete. From their Hybrid Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings made with Cobalt are incredibly unique to the their range. Giving you the feel of Flats, but the tone of Rounds.

Morgan Edwards16 May 2024Brad’s advice was instrumental in helping me to choose the gear that was right for my needs. What’s more, Brad’s customer service was second to none. I am pleased to have been able to purchase my epic Genzler rig (Magellan 800 + NuClassic 2x12) through Tone Merchants, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody looking for equipment (pickups, amps, hardware and more) for their bass or guitar.
David “Denial” Mortenson1 May 2024I can't tell you enough about how Brad helped me out of a jam, I was on tour recently in NZ/AUST with LIVE - (Bass Tech) and I had a tuning peg get damaged in transport and Tone Merchants were the only dealers on that side of the world with the peg I needed. Brad was so fast with an email response and express shipping of the peg I was back up and running with in a couple days. Thank you Brad, I will always recommend and hopefully stop in and see you next time I'm in town!!
Brenten Blury29 April 2024Brad sorted some amazing fralin pickups at a great price and included some extra covers due to a stock discrepancy. Very helpful and good service. Thanks!
Matthew Berg28 April 2024After doing plenty of hunting for a replacement bridge for my Rickenbacker bass i stumbled across Tone Merchants. The communication back and forth while i waited for the import to arrive was great.... Prompt shipping to me in Australia at a very reasonable cost! The tone, playability and most of all functionality of this upgrade is second to none. 10/10. It's just like a cup of Dilmah - "Do Try It".
Marty Forrer8 April 2024I purchased TI Jazz Flats and prewired Jazz control plate from Tone Merchants. Excellent products and excellent service.
Olivier Holland19 March 2024Fantastic shop stocking some top notch gear, most notably Genzler amps! Massive 'thumbs up' and recommendations!
Matt Harvey14 March 2024Legendary. Great advice from Brad regarding modding options aswell as a wicked service in the explanation as to what each can do for your tone. The concentric knob control plate was simple to install, looks amazing on the US Fender and with the series/parallel switches my tone control is spot on. A slick and stylish vintage look and an even better sounding jazz bass.
Seamus Jolly14 March 2024Fantastic service, and what a bass! Highly recommend these guys. Thanks again Brad
Julian Pettitt11 March 2024Can't speak highly enough of Brad, great to deal with, knowledgeable and professional. Bought the Genzler Magellan 800 amp and Bass Array 4x10 cabinet and have never sounded better! The whole band is stoked on the tone and clarity of my rig, thanks Tone Merchants!
