Description
If your short scale bass has been coasting on dead strings, EXL160S is the reset button. D’Addario built this heavy set specifically for scales up to 32 inches, so you get full, punchy low end without the floppy feel that undersized strings usually bring to a short neck.
- Gauges: .050, .070, .085, .105 (wound)
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, articulate voice with strong fundamentals
- Precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines for tight intonation and consistent feel string to string
- Great option for players who like to down-tune without losing tension or clarity
- Manufactured in the U.S.A.
The nickel winding is the reason bass players keep coming back to XL strings — it’s punchy without turning harsh, and it stays articulate whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or riding a pick. Fresh off the pack, these deliver that snap and shimmer that makes a dead set feel like a completely different instrument. Swap them in before your strings go dull and lifeless on you mid-set.
Grab a set now and keep a backup in your gig bag — a string change should never be the thing that stops the show.
