D'Addario XS Nickel Bass strings combine a premium nickel-plated wrap wire with an ultra-thin XS coating for a smooth feel, maximum life, and punchy, balanced tone. They're designed for bassists who demand durability without sacrificing clarity or response.

This 45-100 Regular Light set is D'Addario's most popular bass gauge, offering a blend of response and playability that suits all genres. The reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire features re-engineered core-to-wrap ratios, making for a more versatile string that still feels familiar, with accentuated harmonics.

NY High Carbon Steel cores help XS bass strings stay in tune better and provide greater break strength than standard bass strings. Every set ships in a recyclable, resealable VCI bag with a code you can register for Players Circle points, and all XS bass strings are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility.

Longer Life, Smooth Feel

The ultra-thin XS coating extends string life while keeping the feel smooth under your fingers. You get durability without the dull, plasticky response coated strings are often accused of.

Stays In Tune
