Description
The ETB92-5 extends D’Addario’s well-known ETB92 tapewound formula to five-string basses, adding a .135 low B string for players who need extra range without losing the set’s signature warmth. Each string is built from flattened black nylon, wound and polished to a glass-smooth finish that’s gentle on fingers and frets alike.
- String gauges: .050, .065, .085, .105, .135 (wound)
- Fits long scale basses with scale lengths up to 36 1/4 inches
- Compatible with fretted and fretless basses
- Engineered for balanced tension and proper fit on standard bass nuts and saddles
- Manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. on precision, digitally controlled equipment
Tonally, these tapewounds sit between the deep thump of an upright bass and the rounded focus of classic flatwounds, making them a strong choice for jazz, roots, and vintage-leaning styles where a mellow, articulate low end matters. The tape winding also cuts down on finger noise, so players who move around the neck a lot get quieter position shifts alongside the warm voice.
D’Addario backs the set with the consistency it’s built its reputation on as the world’s largest string manufacturer. Corrosion-resistant packaging keeps the set fresh until it’s on your bass, and the same digitally controlled winding process behind every D’Addario set ensures this pack performs like the last one you bought — and the next.
