Daddario EXL165TP 5-stars Reviews
Classic strings in double package
They can last for loong time, sound good and are easy on fingers. But I always lube them with GHS. Not an expert player but can recommend them without doubt.
Good value for money
As bass strings are so expensive i prefer this set of 2 and save some money. Just classic D'Addario quality, they sound very good, it's a pity they loose their brand new harmonics so fast, just like every other string out there :)
Good value strings for bass
You can never go wrong with Daddario strings on your guitars. The value is excellent, not only is it competitive with other brands, but there is the Daddario Player Circle system that allows you to redeem Daddario strings for points which in turn can net you more strings.
My 1st choice for roundwounds
Having tried several other string brands over the years, I've always gone back to D'addario XL Nickels, for me they feel and sound amazing. I cannot fault them in anyway and are perfect for me. I play a primarily in a wedding/function band, paired with my P bass these cut through the mix and are punchy without being over bright/harsh. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone looking to try out nickel bass strings.
What's in a name?
I have used D'Addario strings on my acoustic adn electric guitars for years, so when I got an electric bass they were my first choice.
No complaints. Rich sound, nice feel and long lasting.

Most useful bass strings
I'm amateur player, playing once a week, for 3 hours and the oldest ones lasts for 3 years. None broke or made damage. They are also gentle with the frets, nut and my rosewood. Most useful bass strings for variety of music styles. Moderate price is helpful - especially for this double pack. These are the right choice strings for those who appreciates reliability and are not experimenting
Awesome strings for bass
Very nice strings for affordable price, produces great sound all over the neck
Great fretless strings option
I use them for long time and i would say, that they are one of few brands,that are so consistent in term of quality and tone-wise.Every pack i use does it has same tone and quality like previous one,no surprises,that many bass-guitar heroes like Gary Willis,Adam Nitti etc.,play with them constantly.
Best Strings in my opinion
Just that...
I find in them anything I need, tone and definition-wise, and I just couldn't be happier with their quality!!!
I like to play around with different tunings, and thet offer a wide range of gauges. Also, the fact that a huge range of singles of any gauge are available to customize sets, is brilliant!!!
From time to time I try other brands, and many are OK, but is just I have found my feel and tone with D'Addario, and I'm always going back to using them.
It's a matter of taste, as always when sound is involved.
For me they're PERFECT, I love them!!!
Edulliset bassonkielet
Hinta-laatusuhteeltaan hyvät, laadukkaat bassonkielet. Ainoa miinus saundin joitakin muita kieliä nopeampi tummuminen, mutta se ei haittaa jos ei hae uusien kielten kirkkautta.
My string of choise
These are my strings, and they are so cheap!
I tried all sorts of strings, Labella's TI Flats, Chromes, Steel Wounds, and all have their pro's and cons, but these strings are up for any job, have the tension I like and last long enough. You can't go wrong with these.
Amazing sound
Full sound, unbelievable bass strings! I have used these for both Jazz and Precision basses and sound incredible. Possibly the best round bass strings in terms of sound and how long they last.
My favourite strings
I've been using these exclusively for years now on a number of different basses and I can't say anything negative about them. They sound great when they're new and they sound great when they're dead. I've never had one of these strings break on me either, unlike other brands.
Best strings out there
I am an occasional bass player and most of my bass playing is home recording and demos. I like the sound these strings produce and with the light top its easier to adapt to bass when guitar is your primary instrument. All in all good value strings.
These are my new standard bass strings!
I was looking for bass strings with a good quality/ price ratio.
I have been playing ernie ball slinky strings for quite some time
but I was looking for a cheaper alternative so I blindly bought
the Daddario EXL165TP just because of the 2 sets.
Anyway, the most important thing is the sound, which is great, too:
Great sustain, punchy lows and bright highs.
I play Punk & Hardcore mostly and I always add
some overdrive or fuzz to the sound which also suits
the sttrings sound perfectly, not too muddy not too harsh.
Also, they are really long lasting, it taks some time
until they start losing that brightness
It's a great deal, I will buy them again!
Best strings
I played many strings, but those ones are definitely my favorites. Those are Bright and tight sounding and feels very good to play not loose at all, that's what I love about them.
Great Strings
Daddario - doesn't need any words. Great strings, great price!
