Description

Edit description

D'Addario XTB32130 Nickel-plated Steel Bass Guitar Strings is a set of 6-string, long scale, regular light tension strings designed to offer superior tonality and tuning stability. These strings are engineered using D'Addario's proprietary Fusion Twist technology and high-carbon steel core, which result in an exceptional playing experience and resilience.

The XTB32130 strings boast a thin, yet durable coating that protects every string from corrosion, ensuring the longevity and consistent performance of your strings. Uniquely, D'Addario applies this coating before winding the strings, a process that sets them apart from other string manufacturers. The result is a string that offers the natural feel and tone of uncoated strings, without the susceptibility to wear and tear.

These strings also feature nickel-plated windings, which enhance their magnetic properties to offer increased output and a broader dynamic range. Whether you're a rock enthusiast or a soul groover, these strings deliver a balanced blend of warmth and clarity that will complement your bass guitar's natural sound.
