Description
When you want your low B (or dropped D) to hit like a wall instead of flubbing out, EXL230 is where a lot of bassists land. This is the heaviest gauge set in D’Addario’s XL Nickel Wound lineup — 55-75-90-110 — designed for players who tune down, dig in hard, or just want more string under their fingers without sacrificing clarity.
- Round wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire for that bright, driving XL tone with clean fundamentals
- Heavier gauging gives you a bigger, booming low end while still feeling comfortable to fret and pluck
- Fits long scale basses, accommodating scale lengths up to 36 1/4 inches
- Precision wound on D’Addario’s computer-controlled machines for consistent intonation string to string, set to set
- Made in the U.S.A.
String Gauges: .055, .075, .090, .110 (wound)
These aren’t the strings for a delicate, jazzy top end — they’re for players who need volume and grind, especially when down-tuning puts extra slack in the string and lighter gauges start to feel loose and lifeless. EXL230 keeps tension and tone intact so your riffs stay tight and your low end stays authoritative, gig after gig.
D’Addario’s been the go-to for bass players across every genre for a reason: consistent manufacturing, corrosion-resistant packaging, and a nickel wrap that delivers reliable magnetic output for a full, present signal through any rig.
