D'Addario's XLB070 is a single replacement nickel–wound bass string engineered for long–scale basses requiring precision and tonal consistency. Manufactured at D'Addario's New York production facility, this 0.070 gauge string employs round–wound nickel–plated steel construction to deliver the bright, articulate tone bassists rely on for definition and cut through a mix.
The nickel–plated steel wrap delivers distinctive brightness with clear fundamental response, whilst the proprietary core wire is drawn in–house to maximise break strength and intonation stability. Uncoated construction keeps weight and feel authentic, making it ideal for players building custom sets or replacing worn singles without committing to a full string pack. Corrosion resistance exceeds older standards, extending playable life in humid studio or touring conditions.
