D‘Addario XT Nickel Wound 5-String 45-130 Bass Guitar Strings, Long Scale

Description

**PLEASE NOTE** These strings measure 36.25″ / 92cm from the ball end to the start of the taper. These strings have no silk winding at either end of the string.

D’Addario XT is for the player who wants the feel of non-coated strings but with the massively extended tone life of coated strings. XT is the combination of D’Addario’s most advanced innovations: high-carbon NY Steel hex core, fusion twist anchors, hydrophobic nano-treated wrap wire, and machine winding.

D’Addario XT nickel-plated steel wrap wire is treated before it’s wound onto the core to ensure the tactile feel of – what we regard as – ‘regular’ strings remains. And crucially, the XT treatment produces minimal tonal dampening so you get the bright, powerful sound expected from D’Addario strings.

All D’Addario X-Series strings have the same break resistance and tuning stability as NYXL thanks to the NY Steel core. NY Steel is produced solely by D’Addario and is up to 40% stronger and 131% more stable than the next best competitor.

The XT bass sound is full, bright, and lively. The XT feel is distinctly not coated!
