Description
The EXL170 is D’Addario’s flagship electric bass set and the benchmark many players measure other strings against. Gauged 45-100, it strikes a balance between punchy low end and articulate highs that suits nearly every playing style, from fingerstyle grooves to aggressive picking.
- Round wound construction with nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, clear voice and strong fundamental tone
- Precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machinery for consistent intonation string to string, set to set
- Long scale length, fitting basses with a scale of up to 36 1/4 inches
- String gauges: wound .045, .065, .080, .100
- Manufactured in the U.S.A. using proprietary, computer-controlled processes
Because these strings are wound with the same nickel-plated alloy trusted by bassists across genres, they offer strong magnetic output for pickups, translating to a punchy, versatile tone whether you’re playing rock, funk, jazz, or anything in between. D’Addario’s corrosion-resistant packaging also helps keep the set fresh until it’s time to string up.
If you’re after a dependable, all-purpose bass string that won’t surprise you tonally, the EXL170 remains one of the most trusted choices for long scale electric basses.
