Description
Ever notice how some sets feel stiff on the low strings and loose on the high ones, forcing you to adjust your attack string to string? That’s the exact problem D’Addario solved with the EXL160BT Balanced Tension set. Instead of just scaling up traditional gauges, D’Addario ran the math to equalize resistance across the .050, .067, .090, and .120 gauges, so your fretting hand applies the same pressure everywhere on the neck. Whether you’re slapping, plucking, bending, or grinding through a fingerstyle groove, the feel stays consistent instead of fighting you on certain strings.
These are still classic XL Nickel Wound strings underneath the balanced tension math, meaning you get that bright, punchy nickel-plated steel wrap wire tone that’s defined bass lines across every genre for decades. XLs are wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machines for tight intonation and clear fundamentals, so your low end stays defined instead of turning to mud, whether you’re on stage or laying down a take.
This is the Long Scale set in 50-120 gauge, built for bassists who want the round, punchy XL character but with a more even playing experience across the whole fretboard.
