An XL String Designed for Versatility and Precision
The D'Addario XLB145 is a .145 nickel-wound bass string engineered to deliver a clear, present sound that sits easily in the mix. Its round nickel-plated steel winding provides a distinctive brightness and dynamic response suitable for both fingerstyle and pick playing, with stable and articulate fundamentals. Whether you're looking for a reliable replacement string or building a custom set (for lower tunings or specific gauges), this string offers a consistent feel and excellent uniformity from string to string.
Part of the XL Nickel Wound series, it benefits from precision winding performed on CNC machines, ensuring more uniform intonation and coherent tonal output. Its magnetic strength promotes good response with pickups, delivering a tone that is both appealing and versatile, suitable for most styles and bass configurations.
