A Modern Standard for a 5-String Extra-Long Scale Bass
The D'Addario EXL170-5SL set follows the recipe of the best-selling XL series in a 5-string super long scale version, adding a .130 low B string for a solid foundation and well-controlled low end. If you're looking for an all-around set capable of handling fingerstyle, pick playing, slap, or more technical lines, these nickel strings offer a very musical balance of brightness, punch, and comfort.
Thanks to their roundwound construction and nickel-plated steel, you get a clear presence in the mix, good response on pickups, and reactive dynamics without sacrificing consistency string to string. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the XL series is also known for manufacturing consistency, a real plus when you want to maintain the same feel with every string change.
