D'Addario EXL165 bass guitar strings offer a hybrid gauge set with Regular Light tension on the top strings and Medium tension on the bottom strings for a balanced combination of bright tone and powerful low end. These long scale strings (34" to 36.8") feature gauges of .045, .065, .085, and .105, produced with nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a precision-drawn hexagonal high carbon steel core. This provides consistent intonation, clarity, and longevity with a round wound texture for classic feel and response. The nickel plating enhances durability and reduces finger noise, making these strings ideal for various musical styles across electric bass players. Packaged in eco-friendly, corrosion-resistant materials, EXL165 strings are manufactured in the USA under strict quality standards.
