D’Addario EXL165-6 Nickel Bass Strings, 6-String 32-135

Description

Six strings, zero compromises. The EXL165-6 takes D’Addario’s beloved EXL165 hybrid formula and extends it for extended-range players, blending the snappy .045 and .065 highs from the EXL170 set with the fat .085 and .105 lows of the EXL160. Add a thunderous .135 Low B and a bright .032 High C, and you’ve got a set built for players who want articulate highs and a low end that actually growls instead of flopping around.

Every string is round wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a hex core, precision-wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines. That means clean intonation up and down the neck, clear fundamentals note to note, and none of the dead spots that make you question your last string change. The nickel wrap gives you that classic bright, magnetically hot tone that cuts through a mix without turning harsh — equally at home slapping, fingerstyle, or with a pick.

Built for long scale six-strings up to 36 1/4 inches, this set is the go-to when you want the comfortable playing feel of a hybrid gauge set without sacrificing low-B definition. Strung fresh, it’s night-and-day compared to the dull, dead-feeling strings you’re replacing — that’s the whole point of keeping a stash of these around.
