Description
The EXL160-5 extends D’Addario’s best-selling heavy gauge XL Nickel Wound formula to five-string basses, adding a .135 low B for extra low-end punch without sacrificing clarity. It’s a natural pick for players who down-tune or simply want more range on the bottom end while keeping the same nickel-plated brightness the standard XL sets are known for.
Each string is precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines, which keeps intonation accurate and fundamentals clear across the entire set. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire brings a lively, articulate top end with strong magnetic output, giving these strings a versatile tone that works across genres rather than favoring one playing style.
- 5-string set built from D’Addario’s top-selling heavy gauge bass string line
- Round wound nickel-plated steel construction for bright tone, clear fundamentals, and tight, booming lows

As with all D’Addario XL strings, expect the same set-to-set consistency and reliability that’s made this line a staple for gigging and recording bassists everywhere.
