Description
Nothing kills a bass tone faster than strings that have gone dull and lifeless. The EXL170-5TP hands you two full sets of D’Addario’s XL Nickel Wound 5-strings, so a fresh, punchy low B is always one string change away.
This is the 5-string edition of D’Addario’s most popular bass set, built around the same nickel-plated steel wrap wire that’s made XL strings the go-to choice across every genre. That wrap delivers the bright attack and strong magnetic pickup response bassists rely on for cutting through a mix, while the low B (.130) adds tight, booming low end without turning to mush. Every string is wound on D’Addario’s precision digitally-controlled machines, keeping intonation locked in and fundamentals clear set after set – no weak spots, no surprises.
These sets fit long-scale 5-string basses up to a 36 1/4″ scale length, and the corrosion-resistant 2-pack packaging keeps your backup set fresh and ready in your gig bag until you need it.
