Description
The EXL160 is D’Addario’s most popular nickel wound bass set, built to balance strong fundamental tone with a crisp top end and deep, tight low frequencies. It’s a go-to choice for bassists across genres who want versatility without sacrificing punch, and its gauge range makes it a solid pick for players experimenting with down tuning.
Each string in this set is round wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a hex core, giving you that classic bright edge along with the magnetic output needed for consistent pickup response. D’Addario manufactures these strings on digitally controlled winding machines here in the U.S.A., which keeps intonation accurate and string-to-string consistency tight across the entire set.
