Description
The EPS160 set is D’Addario’s best-selling ProSteels gauge, prized by bassists who want a cutting high end without sacrificing low-end punch. The set’s specialized steel alloy is engineered for a bright, harmonically dense tone often described as “piano-like” — clear, present, and full of overtone complexity.
Because ProSteels resist corrosion better than many alloys, these strings hold their brilliance and tone longer than typical roundwounds, making them a practical choice for gigging players and studio regulars alike. Whether you dig in with a pick or play fingerstyle, the alloy responds with strong articulation and enough edge to sit clearly in a busy mix.
This medium gauge set is built for long-scale basses, accommodating scale lengths up to 36 7/8 inches, and its lower tension window also makes it a solid option for bassists experimenting with down-tuning. Every set is manufactured in the U.S.A. and sealed in corrosion-resistant packaging so the strings arrive fresh and ready to install.
