For long life, great tone, and superior quality, use D'Addario strings." - Chris Chaney, Jane's Addiction
D'Addario's EXL Nickel Electric Bass Strings offer a distinct, bright tone, with excellent intonation and a "fret-friendly" nickel round wound feel that make them the top choice of bass players of all genres around the world. The nickel-plated wrap wire is ideal for magnetic pickups, relaying the highest sound quality.
All D'Addario strings are precisely wound around a hexagonally shaped high-carbon-steel core wire by computer-controlled machines guaranteeing clear intonation, rock-solid fundamentals, and incomparable consistency in every string. The tight core tension produced through this rigorous quality-controlled process results in a harmonically rich, longer-lasting string.
D'Addario SXL Bass strings are designed for use on Steinberger double ball end basses.
