D'Addario - XSB45100

The D'Addario XSB45100 set of strings is designed for long-scale basses with a 45-100 Regular Light drawbar. It's ideal for bassists looking for a familiar feel under the fingers and a consistent response. This drawbar is often chosen for its everyday versatility.

The nickel-plated steel string provides clear definition on every note. The XS treatment is based on a very thin protective layer that limits the build-up of dirt and wear associated with playing. Contact remains pleasant and consistent over time.

The carbon-rich NY Steel core ensures stable tuning. It is more resistant to mechanical stresses, particularly when attacking more strongly. This construction helps to maintain even tension throughout the set.

The round wound structure maintains a classic feel with good grip. Harmonics come through easily, helping to bring the sound to life in a mix. This set is equally suited to fingerpicking and picking.

The 45-100 drawbar means you can string together different styles without any particular adjustment. It gives enough flexibility for grooves, while maintaining hold for stronger lines. Playing remains comfortable over long sessions.

Made in the USA, these strings are produced with precise control over materials. They come in re-sealable packaging designed to limit oxidation. This set is for bassists who want a stable, long-lasting performance.
