Description
The EXL170S brings D’Addario’s flagship XL Nickel Wound formula to short-scale bass players, fitting instruments with a scale length up to 32 inches. It’s the same set that’s earned a reputation as “The Player’s Choice” among bassists across genres, now sized for shorter necks without sacrificing tone or feel.
- Round wound construction with nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, articulate voice and strong magnetic output
- Precision-wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machinery for consistent intonation, clear fundamentals, and reliable performance string to string
- Fits short scale basses with a scale length up to 32 inches
- Gauges: .045, .065, .080, .100 (wound)

These strings deliver the same booming low end and comfortable playability that made the standard-scale version a best-seller, translated for short-scale instruments. Whether you play rock, funk, jazz, or anything in between, the nickel-plated wrap offers a versatile, universally appealing tone that suits nearly any style or pickup setup. D’Addario’s protective packaging also helps guard against corrosion before the strings even reach your bass, keeping them fresh until you’re ready to install them.
A dependable choice for short-scale bassists who want the tone and consistency of a proven set without hunting for a workaround on string length.
