Description
If you’ve been reaching for EXL170 sets on your 4-strings and finally made the jump to five, this is the string to grab. The EXL170-5TP bundles two sets of D’Addario’s nickel wound XL bass strings, built around the same formula bassists have leaned on for decades — now stretched to cover a .130 low B that stays tight instead of flubby.
Each string is round wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire and run through D’Addario’s computer-controlled winding machines, which keeps intonation dead-on string to string and set to set. Translation: your low B locks in with your E instead of fighting it, and your G string still cuts through a busy mix. That’s why this set gets reached for across genres — funk slappers, pick players, pocket-holding groove merchants, all of it.
Gauges run .045, .065, .080, .100, .130, wound throughout, and the set fits long scale 5-string basses up to a 36 1/4″ scale length. Grab the 2-pack, keep a spare set in the gig bag, and never get caught with a dead string on a Friday night load-in.
