Description
If you’ve been chasing a set that holds pitch through a full set, digs in hard on the low B… wait, this is a 4-string set, but you get the idea — NYXL45100 is D’Addario’s answer to bassists who want more out of standard rounds. The trick is in the construction: reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire wound tight over D’Addario’s high-carbon NY Steel core. That combo pushes more tension into the string without changing the feel you already know, which translates to deeper lows, a punchier attack, and harmonics that actually cut through a mix instead of getting buried.
- Re-engineered core-to-wrap ratios for a string that flexes between styles — slap, fingerstyle, pick, doesn’t matter
- Reformulated nickel-plated wrap wire keeps that familiar nickel feel while pulling out extra harmonic content
- NY Steel core means better tuning stability on stage and longer life before they go dead
- Long scale fit, up to 36 1/4 inches — covers the vast majority of long scale basses
- Made in the U.S.A.
Gauges run 45-100, the most-requested spread for a reason — balanced enough for pick work, still got the beef for pocket-deep fingerstyle grooves. If your current strings feel dull halfway through a set or drift out of tune under stage lights, this is the upgrade that fixes both without asking you to relearn your technique.
