A gauge designed to hold tuning and maintain clarity
The D'Addario EXL156 strings are exclusively designed for the Fender Bass VI, a unique instrument often played "between" guitar and bass. Thanks to their 24-84 gauge and Nickel Wound construction, you get a crisp attack, well-defined lows, and appreciable clarity on chords, bass lines, and lead parts. The result: comfortable playability, a consistent feel under the fingers, and tuning stability suited for the E tuning one octave lower.The "XL Nickel Wound" texture: bright, precise, and versatile
Within the XL electric bass string family, this set is known for its bright tone and distinctive intonation. The nickel-plated steel roundwound strings promote a rich harmonic response and effective magnetic output, ideal for exploiting the Bass VI pickups with good definition. Whether you seek biting pick attacks, clean lows for surf/indie styles, or an articulated low register for modern arrangements, the EXL156 provides a reliable and musical foundation.Technical specifications
