D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XT Coated Electric, XTB45105, Light Top/Medium Bottom 45-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1

Since I started using the NY/XL and XT line, I've not been able to find a string quite as punchy, while balancing brightness and warmth, excellent and extended tension for tuning and intonation, and adaptable for my broad my playing style. The range of string weight gives very consistent tone and playability from top to bottom. The length fits perfectly for my Ibanez SR-500 and SR-505. My educated/estimated guess is the amount I trim on installation would be sufficient for a long-scale setup. These strings are worth their reasonable cost for how long the keep their vibrancy; I regularly use FastFret on all of my guitars to help prevent buildup and further protect from corrosion. As always, your mileage may vary. The quality of the few purchases I've made over the years seems to have stood up with some spiffy packaging upgrades.

These strings sound amazing! I’ve very picky about my string choice, I’ve tried just about every brand in my 20 years of playing bass! D’addario makes really good strings! Wolfgang plays D’addario! I put these strings on my new-to-me Jackson CBX David Ellefson bass! The combination between D’addario and EMG electronics makes for a very LARGE, clear, defined bass tone! The coated string feels and sounds like a new string and has no “coated” string feel! I will be using D’addario for the rest of my days!

I liked them

Great bass strings replacement

Good quality strings for the price. The coating seems to extend the life some.

Love D’Addario strings. They're great on my bass.

De - Dairy - Oh -- my favorite brand of bass string.

I have been using other brands and lately they become too expensive. I wanted to give it try and they worked out well. I’m not a professional bass player, so for me, makes the difference!
