Description
The EXL190 splits the difference between D’Addario’s EXL170 and EXL220 sets, giving you a 40-100 gauge spread that feels comfortable under the fingers while still pushing out a tight, booming low end. If you’ve bounced between lighter and heavier sets trying to find the sweet spot for tension versus punch, this hybrid gauging is exactly that middle ground.
- Nickel-plated steel round wound construction for a bright, articulate attack with clear fundamentals
- Comfortable playing tension paired with powerful, tight lows — good for slap, fingerstyle, and pick work alike
- Wound gauges: .040, .060, .080, .100
- Fits long scale basses up to 34 inches scale length (per manufacturer spec), with coverage up to 36 1/4 inches per D’Addario’s feature listing
- Precision wound on digitally-controlled machinery in the USA for consistent intonation set after set
These are the strings a lot of working bassists default to when they need a set that responds well in the mix — enough brightness to cut through a dense band, enough low-frequency authority to hold the groove down. Whether you’re restringing before a gig or just keeping a fresh set in your bag, the EXL190 is a dependable, no-surprises choice from a company that’s been the standard for decades.
Made in the USA and packaged to resist corrosion before they ever hit your bass.
