The XL Nickel Sound: The Versatile Standard for All Basses
The D'Addario XLB130 is a single bass string from the XL Nickel Wound series, a recognized reference among bassists of all styles. Thanks to its nickel wrap, it delivers a clear, present, and balanced tone, capable of adapting equally well to smooth grooves and sharper attacks. It is a reliable solution for replacing a worn string or fine-tuning your gauge without changing your playing habits.
Designed for Precision, Stability, and Definition
Precisely wound on CNC machines, the XLB130 aims for exemplary consistency from string to string: stable intonation, uniform feel under the fingers, and consistent response. Its nickel-plated steel offers excellent interaction with pickups, with well-defined fundamentals and a distinctive brightness that remains musical. In "long scale," it fits basses with necks measuring up to 36 1/4" (92.07 cm).
