Daddario EXL160

great strings

great tone for the value

Amazing for Metal Music

No words needed, Daddario quality at its finest!

Like fine wine

I installed these strings on my Fender Jazz Bass. In the beginning, they sounded too bright for my taste. It is nothing you cannot solve with some equalization, though. As time passes, they lose brightness, and I prefer their sound when they have aged a little bit. The construction is solid and durable, as you can expect from D'Addario.

Good and basic

I needed to change the strings on my new bass as they had factory strings that were not any good so I bought the EXL 160 and the are really good. Good price also.

No brainer

I've been using this set of strings for 3 years and I loving them. It has a nice balanced sound. Change them after every 2 months but you could use it at least 3-4 mounts if you keep them clean.

Custom Bass

Hi there,

I was looking for strings for my custom bass.

In the ocean of choice, it's hard to choose the right one.

I didn't have try this model yet. So i jump in and i am pleased with the result

I recommended it

What can i say? Does what it's supposed and it does it very well.

nicely balanced, sound just great to me. they have a nice clarity and a solid low end. they feel nice on the fingers, and last a pretty decent time. I was kinda surprised by how well they keep their clarity, most strings go dull after a few hours of playing. These have been on my bass for a week or 2 now and although they don't sound as bright as when they were fresh from the package (which is just normal) they're still much brighter than most strings after that amount of time.

Good for D tuning

I bought this pack for my Peavey BXP-4, which is a 4 string, 34'' scale electric bass.

The tension is perfect for D standard tuning and I feel like Daddarios sound and feel fresh for longer than other brands, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't change them.

I recommend cleaning them with a microfiber cloth after every use. Cleaning products such as GHS Fast Fret will work wonders on bass strings too.

Great for Drop Tuning

I bought these to use for drop tuning in C, i don't like extremely high tension to the point where I need to have to adjust my truss rod too much, so these are great. Same great D'addario quality and tone as always. This brand and type of string always seem to outlast the competition, I've tried many others but I always find D'addario are my preference.

Best strings on the market

I've used various brands and gauges over the years. D'addario are still the best.

I have very sweaty hands when playing live which really dulls the brightness of new strings after a few shows, however the EXL160's tend to last much longer and take a beating without breaking!
