Un des meilleurs ratio prix/qualité

Même si je n'utilise plus que les NYXL que je trouve plus détaillées et organiques, les EXP restent une référence, avec une très bonne qualité et un très bon son pour un prix très bien situé. Surtout dans ce pack de 2.

The only roundwound strings I use anymore...

Let's be honest: I'm completely biased. I've used the Daddario's so long time, that I can't really compare them to other brands anymore... But as it comes to the real love: when you find the one you adore, why change? ;)

Daddario EXL's are punchy and bright sounding strings, with lots and lots of midrange. The excessive treble is easy to cut out with your passive tone knob, and the midrange you might not like in your bedroom really feels good on the stage with all that drum-banging around!

They feel a bit stiff, but due to their "tensioness" you don't have play or plug too hard with your right hand for getting a snappy and articulative tone.

They're by far my favorite strings, and for several years I've not even considered anything else. For me, they work perfect.

Excellent value

I bought these for two different 5 string basses that I have, they fit on one bass perfectly and were too short for the other even though it was a 34" scale bass (this is because from the back of the bridge to the nut was more than 36" even though the scale length from string saddle to nut is only 34") however they sound great and there is a super long scale set for anything longer which I get instead next time. These are great strings but daddario needs to make them longer! very hard to get 5 string sets in Ireland!
