Description
If you’ve ever fought a mushy low B, this is the fix. EXL170-5SL takes D’Addario’s go-to XL Nickel formula and stretches it to fit super long scale 5-strings, so that extra low string still growls with focus instead of flopping around under your fingers.
- Gauges: .045, .065, .080, .100, .130 (wound)
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, punchy tone with strong fundamentals
- Round wound construction for classic slap and fingerstyle feel
- Fits super long scale basses up to 38 inches
- Precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines for tight intonation, string to string
- Made in the U.S.A.
These are the strings most working bassists reach for first — not flashy, just dependable. The nickel wrap gives you enough top-end snap to cut through a mix without going harsh, and the low B holds its pitch and definition instead of turning into rubber. Whether you’re locking in a groove in the studio or grinding through a three-set gig, EXL170-5SL keeps your low end tight and your tone consistent night after night.
Good call for the 5-string players who need extra length without sacrificing feel — and a smart stocking stuffer for the bassist who’s always low on backup sets.
