About D'Addario EXL170

XL Nickel are the industry standard in electric bass strings. With their clear fundamentals, booming tight lows, and reliable D'Addario construction, they're trusted by players everywhere to handle any performance. XL Nickel bass strings are made with a high carbon steel core and wound with nickel-plated steel wrap wire, for consistently bright tone and smooth playability, great for a wide variety of bass styles. 45-100 Regular Light strings is our most popular bass gauge, providing a perfect blend of response and playability.

Dial It In. Crank It Out.
XL Nickel Wound, D'Addario's most popular guitar strings, are precision wound with nickel plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result-strings with long lasting, distinctive, bright tone and excellent intonation-is ideal for the widest variety of guitars and musical styles.

Round, Wound, and Responsive.

Round Wound Strings
Round wound strings have the feel and tone that most players are familiar with. This string construction combines the strength of the steel core with the tonal properties of the wrap wire alloy.
