Description
The EXL220 set trims the tension down from D’Addario’s standard XL bass gauging without sacrificing the bright, articulate voice that’s made these strings a go-to for decades. If you want the classic nickel wound growl but your hands (or your fretting technique) prefer a bit less resistance, this is the set that lets you dig in on faster lines without fighting the strings.
Each string is precision wound on D’Addario’s digitally controlled machinery, so intonation stays true up and down the neck and the fundamentals come through clean, whether you’re slapping, fingerstyle, or laying into a pick. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire gives you that familiar bright top end and solid magnetic output that cuts through a mix without sounding harsh.
Built for long scale basses (up to 36 1/4″ scale length), this set is a solid pick for gigging players who want a lighter feel for extended playing without giving up low-end definition. Manufactured in the U.S.A. under D’Addario’s tight quality control, so every set behaves the same as the last — no surprises when you’re restringing before a show.
