Description
Some bass sets make you choose between snap and low-end punch. EXL165 skips the compromise by grafting the bright, comfortable-tension high strings from an EXL170 set onto the booming, tight-feeling low strings from an EXL160 set. The result is a 45-105 hybrid gauge that stays lively up top and stays commanding down low, which is exactly why it’s become a staple on pedalboards and stages everywhere.
Every string here is round wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire, precision-wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines so intonation stays true and fundamentals stay clear set after set. That consistency matters most the moment your old strings go dead and dull — you want the new set to snap right back into the tone you expect, not something you have to relearn.
This is a 2-pack, so when tone-life starts to fade or a string breaks mid-set, your next fresh set is already on the shelf instead of on an order form. Fits long scale basses up to 36 1/4 inches, and every string is made in the U.S.A.
