Description
The EXL160BT set applies D’Addario’s Balanced Tension approach to a familiar 50-120 gauge bass set. Rather than using standard proportional gauges, each string is calculated to deliver comparable resistance under the fingers, so shifting from the E string to the G string doesn’t mean fighting a sudden change in feel.
- Gauges: .050, .067, .090, .120 (nickel wound)
- Long scale construction
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, punchy tone with strong magnetic output
- Balanced tension design equalizes resistance string-to-string for consistent bending, plucking, slapping, and fretting effort
- Wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machinery for accurate intonation and reliable set-to-set consistency
- Packaged in corrosion-resistant, environmentally conscious packaging
- Made in the U.S.A.
Players who move between techniques – fingerstyle, slap, pick – often notice inconsistent tension makes some strings feel stiffer or looser than others. This set addresses that directly, giving every string a comparable playing effort while retaining the classic XL nickel wound tone that’s made D’Addario a go-to choice across genres.
Whether you’re chasing smoother technique transitions or just want a dependable, bright-sounding set for your electric bass, the EXL160BT offers a thoughtfully engineered alternative to traditional gauge sets.
