Description
The EXL160-5 takes D’Addario’s best-selling heavy gauge XL set and extends it down to a proper .135 low B, so your fifth string doesn’t feel like an afterthought. It’s the gauge combo a lot of working 5-string players default to when they want fundamental weight without losing the punch on top.
- Gauges: .050, .070, .085, .105, .135
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, articulate attack with strong output
- Round wound construction, precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally-controlled machines for consistent intonation string to string
- Long scale fit, up to 36 1/4 inch scale length
- Solid choice if you’re dropping tunings and need the low end to stay tight rather than boomy and undefined
- Made in the U.S.A.
Bright enough to cut through a dense mix, heavy enough to keep your low B from wobbling under a hard right hand. Whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or pick, these deliver the kind of dependable, everyman tone that’s made the XL series a staple on stages and in studios for decades. If you’re rebuilding a 5-string workhorse for a tour or just keeping a backup set in the gig bag, this is a straightforward, no-surprises string set that does exactly what it says.
