About this item

D'Addario XL Nickel bass strings are the industry standard for electric bass players worldwide. Made with a high carbon steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap wire, they produce a bright, clear tone with tight lows, suitable for various bass styles. Designed for short scale basses up to 32 inches, these strings provide excellent intonation and long-lasting performance. Trusted by professionals, each string is precision wound on digitally-controlled machines, ensuring consistency and reliable tuning. Perfect for both studio and stage use, they are manufactured in the USA, adhering to strict quality standards, and packaged to resist corrosion, making them ideal for Indian climates.

Players in humid coastal regions report these strings maintain their brightness and tone over time, even with frequent playing. The durable construction helps withstand the rigors of touring and regular practice. Many bassists appreciate their smooth playability and consistent feel, making them a favorite for live performances and recording sessions. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, these strings support your performance with reliable sound and longevity. Import from the USA, with all duties paid, arrives in 11-13 days.

In India, these strings are a cost-effective choice compared to local options, offering superior quality and consistent tone. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion, especially in humid weather. Suitable for bass players looking for a bright, tight sound with long-lasting durability, these strings are a top choice for professional and hobbyist musicians alike.

Key Features

  • THE PLAYERS CHOICE – With their clear fundamentals, booming tight lows, and reliable D’Addario construction, they’re trusted by players everywhere to handle any performance.
  • TIGHT, BRIGHT TONE – Nickel-plated steel wrap wire provides a bright, tight bass sound, great for a variety of musical genres.
  • FOR THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE – Like all D’Addario bass strings, XL Nickel are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and powerful durability.
  • EARN REWARD POINTS - XL Nickel bass sets have a code on the recyclable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.
  • MADE IN THE USA – XL Nickel bass guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility.

Why choose this product

Superior Manufacturing Precision

D'Addario's digitally-controlled winding process ensures each string has precise intonation, consistent feel, and excellent magnetic output. This results in a bright, tight low-end and reliable tuning, outperforming generic or locally made strings.

Ideal for Indian Bass Players

These strings are crafted to withstand humid climates, resisting corrosion better than uncoated alternatives. Perfect for professional gigs or daily practice, they deliver consistent tone and durability. Skip if you prefer coated strings for extra corrosion resistance.

How to use

  • Unpack and inspect — Remove strings from packaging, check for any damage, and clean the fretboard before installing for best longevity.
  • Secure each string to the bridge, tune to pitch, and stretch gently to stabilize tuning. Repeat as needed for perfect sound.
  • Regular maintenance — Wipe strings after playing, store in a dry pouch, and replace every 3-4 weeks for optimal brightness and durability.
