Description
If you’re chasing that punchy, harmonically dense “piano tone” that steel-string bass players live for, EPS190 ProSteels deliver it in spades. D’Addario built these using a specialized steel alloy that’s more magnetic and brighter than standard rounds, giving you shimmering highs stacked on top of deep, controlled lows.
What makes the 190 set special is its hybrid build — it splits the difference between the EPS220 and EPS170 sets, so you get a comfortable, playable tension without losing any of that aggressive edge. Dig in with a pick or work it with your fingers; either way, these strings stay articulate and cut through a busy mix instead of getting buried.
- Gauges: .040, .060, .080, .100 (wound)
- Long scale — fits basses up to 36 1/2″ scale length
- Specialized steel alloy for extra brightness and magnetic output
- Hybrid tension between EPS220 and EPS170 sets
- Made in the U.S.A. with D’Addario’s proprietary, digitally controlled manufacturing
Old strings kill tone before you even notice it happening — the highs dull, the lows go flabby, and that piano-like clarity disappears. Keep a set of EPS190s in the drawer so you’re never stuck playing dead strings when the gig or session calls for that signature ProSteels bite.
