EXL165 : These strings must be a classic by now...

12 years ago

The D'Addario nickelwounds are well-made, easy to play, feel smooth on your fingers and keep a good sound for quite some time. I would describe the sound as balanced. These strings can do quite a lot: I really liked them on a fretless-bass, loved them on my fretted Jazz-Basses and they even got me playing with the tone-knob more often because they react very musically. They are by no means perfect for every style of music there is, but they are good enough for most of them. And the low price is another big plus!
