Description
The EXL170SL takes D’Addario’s most popular electric bass set and stretches it to fit super long scale instruments. If your bass has a scale length up to 38 inches, this Light gauge set (.045, .065, .080, .100) delivers the same balanced punch and clarity that’s made the standard EXL170 a mainstay on stages and in studios for decades.
Each string starts with a round core wrapped in nickel-plated steel wire, a combination that produces a bright, articulate voice with strong low-end presence and clean fundamentals. The nickel wrap also offers excellent magnetic response, so pickups translate the string’s output faithfully across genres — whether you’re playing funk, rock, jazz, or anything in between.
Consistency is baked into the manufacturing process: every set is wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines in the U.S.A., which keeps tension and diameter uniform from string to string and batch to batch. That precision translates into accurate intonation and a feel that stays predictable set after set.
