Super light gauge for an easier-to-play bass
The D'Addario EXL180 strings are aimed at bassists who want maximum comfort under the fingers without sacrificing sonic presence. Thanks to their extremely light gauge, these strings facilitate bends, fast playing, legato runs, and provide a pleasant smoothness for long sessions. The result: an easier, responsive bass with a soft touch that encourages precision.
The classic Nickel Wound: attack, definition, and balance
From the XL series, a staple on stage and in the studio, these Nickel Wound strings combine round wound construction with nickel-plated steel to deliver a clear, meaningful, and versatile sound. You benefit from a sharp attack, strong magnetic power with pickups, and solid fundamentals that remain clear in the mix, whether you play fingerstyle, with a pick, or slap. The winding done on CNC machines ensures excellent consistency from string to string, for stable intonation and even playability across the entire neck.
