I will never use another brand again! The feel of all their varieties of strings are just the best. Long life, great tone all around. Just smooth to the touch and responsive. Fits great on all types of guitar set ups, decent weight consider the string gauge you purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dependable great sounding strings. *by D***N on November 23, 2021* These are stings I feel you're not supposed to like. Thing is, I keep coming back to them. They are everywhere and they are inexpensive compared to other comparable strings. They feel good, you know what they will sound like and about how long they will last for you. I am using the balanced tension 4 string set on my Spector LX4, they are fantastic. The strings I just bought here on Amazon are the XL170 5 string set for my Spector LX5. That bass is 35 scale and the normal "long scale" strings fit as they should. They are also great, but if I had one criticism it's the B and E string gauge. Most sets in this range are .105 for E and .125 or .130 for B. Here you get .100 for E and .130 for the B. It seems an odd jump and I suspect it has to do with keeping a tight sounding B while attempting to balance tension across the set. That's probably good on a 34 scale bass, but it would be cool to offer a more traditional .105 and .125 set if you have a 35 scale. In any case, it's not somthign that I'm conscious of when playing, just a bit of OCD and the B does rock at .130, but it also does for any strings I've tried at .125 on the 35 scale. Maybe something for 5 string similar to the balanced tension set offered for 4 string. That set has the E string at .107. That may pair pretty well with a .130 B. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are the industry standard for a reason. *by B***D on October 2, 2024* Great strings, I’ve been using this brand for 25 years and they always perform well.Solid construction with a brilliant tone that lasts a very long time. This balanced tension set has been a real benefit to the feel of my bass. Try them, you may never go back to the standard set. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings - XL Nickel - EXL160TP - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Powerful Durability - 4 String Set - 50-105 Medium, Long Scale, 2-Pack - D'Addario 50MM Js St,Souls Of Distortion (50JS03) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16592792-daddario-electric-bass-guitar-strings-xl-nickel-exl160tp-medium-gauge](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16592792-daddario-electric-bass-guitar-strings-xl-nickel-exl160tp-medium-gauge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
