Description
When your bass starts sounding dull and lifeless, EXL160 is the reset button. This is D’Addario’s most popular heavy-ish set for a reason: it delivers thick, tight low end with enough top-end snap to cut through a mix, whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or laying down a pick groove.
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire wound on digitally-controlled machines for rock-solid intonation and even response string to string
- Round wound construction gives you that classic bright, magnetic tone with clear fundamentals — the sound bassists reach for across every genre
- Fits long scale basses up to 36 1/4 inches, and the .050-.105 gauge spread handles down-tuning without going flabby
- Made in the U.S.A. to a consistent standard, set after set
- Packaged to resist corrosion so strings stay fresh until you’re ready to string up
Gauges: .050 / .070 / .085 / .105 (wound)
If your current strings feel dead under your fingers or the low B has turned to mud, swap in a fresh set of EXL160 and hear the difference immediately — punchier attack, clearer note separation, and that booming low end D’Addario built its reputation on. Grab a spare set too; you’ll want them on hand the next time your tone starts fading.
