Features
Balanced light 45-100 gauges
A popular light gauge spread that keeps fretting easy while maintaining a firm, musical low end. The 45-100 set is comfortable for developing technique, fast lines and extended practice, yet still gives enough resistance for confident dynamics and articulation.
Nickel plated steel roundwound tone
Nickel plated steel wrap wire provides a bright, punchy response with a smooth feel under the fingers. The roundwound construction adds presence and clarity, helping lines cut through a band mix while retaining warmth for supportive bass parts.
Long scale fit for common 34 inch basses
Designed to suit the majority of standard long scale instruments, these strings seat and speak properly across the nut, frets and bridge. The correct fit promotes even tension, consistent sustain and reliable playability up the neck.
Precision hex core stability
A high quality hex core ensures solid tuning stability and dependable intonation. The consistent manufacturing tolerance helps every string in the set respond predictably, making setup and performance more straightforward.
Durable and gig ready
Built to handle the demands of regular use, rehearsals and shows, EXL170 offers strong longevity and value. They settle in quickly, hold pitch well and keep their lively tone, so you can focus on playing rather than constant string changes.
