D'Addario EPBB170 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Bass Strings - Light / Long Scale 45-100

The EPBB170 acoustic bass set stands as D'Addario's flagship choice for musicians seeking that perfect balance of warmth and projection. This popular string set produces a rich, deep tone that cuts through any mix whilst maintaining the nuanced character that acoustic bass players demand.

D'Addario pioneered the use of Phosphor Bronze in string manufacturing back in 1974, establishing a new standard for acoustic string tone. The material has since become the benchmark for achieving that coveted warm, bright, and well-balanced sound that defines quality acoustic instruments.

These strings feature precision winding of corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze around a meticulously drawn hexagonal high carbon steel core. This construction method ensures exceptional intonation accuracy while producing a bright, long-lasting tone that maintains its character over extended playing periods.
