Description
The EXL220 is D’Addario’s light-gauge take on its classic XL Nickel Wound formula, giving long scale bass players a touch more give under the fingers without sacrificing the punch and clarity these strings are famous for. Each string is wound on precision, digitally controlled machinery in the U.S.A., resulting in tight tolerances, accurate intonation, and a consistent feel string to string, set to set.
Nickel-plated steel wrap wire gives this set its signature bright edge and strong fundamental response, while the lighter .040-.095 gauging trims tension just enough to ease bending and fretting hand fatigue during long sessions or gigs. It’s a versatile voice at home across rock, pop, funk, and beyond, and the reduced string tension makes it a smart option for players who want speed and comfort without going ultra-light.
Built for long scale instruments up to 36 1/4 inches, this set slots neatly between standard and extra-light gauges, making it a solid middle-ground choice if you find regular XL sets a bit stiff.
