Description
The EPS170-6 extends D’Addario’s celebrated ProSteels formula to 6-string bass, rounding out the standard 4-string set with a wound .030 high C and a .130 low B. That extra range is built on the same specialized steel alloy that makes ProSteels the brightest and most magnetically responsive strings in D’Addario’s bass lineup, giving players the classic “piano tone” that steel-string bassists chase.
Under the hood, these strings deliver a harmonically dense top end with tight, defined lows that hold together whether you’re playing with fingers or attacking with a pick. That combination of clarity and low-end control makes ProSteels a favorite for cutting through dense mixes without losing warmth.
This set is designed for long-scale 6-string basses, accommodating a string scale length of up to 36 1/4 inches. Like all D’Addario strings, it’s manufactured domestically in the U.S.A. on precision, digitally controlled equipment, and packaged to resist corrosion and reduce waste.
