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 made for bassists who demand durability without sacrificing clarity or response.

This 45-130 Regular Light set takes D'Addario's most popular bass gauge and adds a low B-string for 5-string, long scale basses. The reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire features re-engineered core-to-wrap ratios, resulting in a more versatile string that still feels familiar, with accentuated harmonics.

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