Description
If you’ve felt let down by mushy low B strings, NYXL45130 is D’Addario’s answer for five-string players. These sets pair a high carbon NY Steel core with reformulated nickel-plated wrap wire, giving you a low B that’s actually tight and defined instead of flabby — plus punchy mids and highs that cut through a band mix without sounding harsh.
The re-engineered core-to-wrap ratio is what sets NYXL apart from standard nickel sets. It’s built to give you more usable dynamic range, whether you’re digging in hard on a slap passage or laying back for a smooth groove. The nickel-plated wrap keeps the feel familiar under your fingers while pulling more harmonic content out of the string than you’d expect.
Bass players know tuning drift and dead strings kill a gig. The NY Steel core is there to fight both — expect better pitch stability and longer-lasting tone, string to string, set to set.

Whether you’re restringing your main gigging bass or keeping a spare set in the case, NYXL45130 is a solid, no-nonsense choice for 5-string low end that holds up under real playing conditions.
