D'Addario EXL170SL XL Nickel Wound Super Long Scale Bass Strings

If you play a super long scale bass — one with a string scale between 36 and 38 inches — finding the right strings isn't always straightforward. The D'Addario EXL170SL is the super long scale version of D'Addario's best-selling EXL170 set, purpose-built to fit those longer-scale instruments without the tension and intonation issues that can come from using standard long scale strings on a bigger bass.

This is a 4-string set in Regular Light gauge (.045–.065–.080–.100), wound with nickel-plated steel over D'Addario's proprietary NY Steel hex core. The round wound construction gives you the familiar feel most bass players know, while the nickel-plated wrap wire works well with magnetic pickups and delivers a clear, bright tone that sits cleanly in a mix. The hexagonal core helps the wrap wire grip tightly, which contributes to solid intonation and consistent feel from string to string. These are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility.
