The XL Sound: A Modern Classic, Tailored for Long Scales
The D'Addario EXL170SL set carries the DNA of the famous XL Nickel Wound strings: a clear and punchy tone, versatile enough to cover slap, pick, fingerstyle, or rounder fingered playing. This Super Long Scale version is ideal if your bass requires longer string length while maintaining the "Light" feel appreciated for its flexibility and control.
Comfortable Feel and Consistent Response, String After String
Thanks to precision winding and a nickel-plated steel round wound wrap, these bass strings offer excellent magnetic response with pickups, solid definition in the low end, and a clearly audible attack in the mix. The result: a balanced tone, reliable both in the studio and on stage, and consistency that facilitates setup and intonation across the entire neck.
