Description
If you’re chasing that piano-like steel tone — glassy top end riding on a deep, tight low — the EPS190 set is D’Addario’s answer. These ProSteels use a specialized steel alloy that’s brighter and more magnetic than standard nickel rounds, so your pickups grab more signal and your tone comes out harmonically loaded, whether you’re fingerstyle picking through a groove or digging in with a pick for something more aggressive.
The 190 designation isn’t random — it’s a hybrid gauge set built between the popular EPS220 and EPS170 sets, aimed at bassists who want playable, comfortable tension without giving up that biting, punchy edge steel strings are known for. Long scale construction covers basses up to 36 1/2 inches, so it’s a solid fit for extended-scale instruments as well as standard long scales.
- Gauges: .040, .060, .080, .100 (wound)
- Long scale — fits up to 36 1/2 inch scale length
- Bright, magnetic ProSteels alloy for cutting, harmonically rich tone
- Comfortable tension without sacrificing punch
- Made in the U.S.A. with D’Addario’s corrosion-resistant packaging
Whether you need strings that stand out in a dense mix or just want that classic steel snap back in your rig, the EPS190 set delivers consistent, gig-ready performance set after set.
