The perfect round-wound string

April 21, 2015

I can't find any strings with these gauges anywhere... They are punchy, roll off the fingers nicely, and last forever. (Though I definitely keep them on longer than most people... I like the strings as much dead as brand new, for different reasons.)

They do well with brightness for that string heavy sound, but with one turn of the tone nob they'll be sounding as warm as any flats.

Perfect for my Fender Jazz bass playing heavy funk, jazz, Afrobeat, and Latin styles.

Highly recommend!

Drop-C Tuning

December 21, 2009

This gauge of string works well with Drop-C tuning. Medium lifespan.

NOTE	DESCRIPTION	DIAMETER INCHES	TENSION LBS
1st G	Nickel Round Wound	.055	63.0
2^nd D	Nickel Round Wound	.075	64.6
3^rd A	Nickel Round Wound	.090	54.4
4^th E	Nickel Round Wound	.110	46.2

"Popularly priced XL nickel round wound bass strings are wound with the same nickel-plated steel alloy as XL round wound guitar strings. Today's XL string specifications are the culmination of years of experimentation by Jim D'Addario and John D'Addario, Sr. Even now, D'Addario's sound room is crowded with different electric bass guitars for experimentation with different string specifications and for quality tests on string production. The XL series of D'Addario's broadest and largest-selling line of electric bass guitar strings, with 18 different string models offered. Many models are available in both environmental and standard packaging."
