Description
Six-string basses need a set that doesn’t let the extra strings feel like an afterthought, and EXL170-6 delivers exactly that. It’s built off the same formula that made D’Addario’s standard XL set the go-to choice for bass players everywhere, just stretched to cover the full range — from a tight, defined .130 low B up to a snappy wound .032 high C.
Every string is nickel-plated steel wrap wire, precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally-controlled machines. That means true intonation, fundamentals that stay clear instead of muddy, and the kind of consistency where set after set feels the same under your fingers. The nickel winding is what gives these that classic bright-yet-warm XL bark — cut through a mix without going harsh, and still have low-end weight when you dig in on the B string.
Old strings on a 6-string bass are brutal — dead low B, no sparkle up top, intonation drifting all over. Fresh EXL170-6 fixes all of it in one restring, waking up the whole neck instead of just the strings you play most.
