Description
The D’Addario EXL165 is a clever hybrid set built for bassists who want the best of two worlds. It pairs the brighter, higher-gauge strings from the EXL170 set with the low-end punch of the EXL160 set, giving you a comfortable playing tension alongside a tone that stays crisp on top and booming underneath.
- Hybrid gauge combining EXL170 highs and EXL160 lows for balanced tone and feel
- Round wound construction with nickel-plated steel for bright, clear articulation
- Fits long scale basses up to 36 1/4 inches in scale length
- Made in the U.S.A. to exacting quality standards
- String gauges: .045, .065, .085, .105
- Packaged in environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant material to keep strings fresh until you’re ready to play
Every EXL165 string is wound on D’Addario’s digitally-controlled machines, which means tight tolerances, accurate intonation, and consistent fundamentals string to string. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers the bright, magnetically responsive tone that’s made D’Addario XL Nickel Wound strings a favorite among bassists across genres — whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or digging in with a pick.
If you’ve been searching for a set that doesn’t force a compromise between snap and low-end weight, the EXL165’s hybrid gauging is designed to solve exactly that problem.
