EXL165-5 : I'd forgotten how much I dislike XLs...
Very clanky when new, feels kinda stiff under the fingers and they don't last very long.
I've never been a big fan of the D'Addario sound/feel but it had been over a decade since the last time I tried them so I thought I'd give them another chance. I still don't like them. Apart from certain dirt cheap "in house" brands they're one of my least favourite bass strings.
If I need this style of sound I'd rather use the Fender 7250. They're made by D'Addario too and sound quite similar but with a bit more warmth/power in the lower mids.
Lots of people like them though. It's all about personal taste.
