Description
If your bass has a scale length that laughs at standard sets, EXL170SL is the fix. It’s the super long scale build of D’Addario’s most trusted nickel wound set, gauged .045-.065-.080-.100, and made to fully cover necks stretching up to 38 inches without running out of windings where you need them most.
Tonally, this is the set that most players default to for a reason: nickel-plated steel wrap wire gives you that bright, punchy attack up front with a solid, booming low end underneath. It’s not a specialty voice for one genre — it works for pick players, fingerstyle, slap, whatever the gig calls for. Fundamentals stay clear and defined string to string, which matters a lot once you’re down at that extended low B or dropped register territory.
D’Addario winds these on digitally-controlled machinery, so intonation and consistency aren’t left to chance — every set behaves the same way, night after night. They’re made in the U.S.A., and packaged in corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly packaging so they show up ready to play, not oxidized in the box.
