The Perfect Balance Between Flexibility and Power for 5-String Bass
The D'Addario EXL220-5 set incorporates everything that makes the EXL220 successful, with the addition of a low B string in gauge .125. The result: a wider playing range and lighter tension than a standard set, while maintaining the "XL Nickel" tonal character: a clear sound, solid lows, and definition that remains clear in slap, fingerstyle, or pick playing. Whether you play rock, pop, funk, metal, or jazz, these strings offer a fast feel and balanced tone, perfect for modern setups and technical playing.
