D'Addario XLB170T Nickel Wound Tapered Bass Guitar Single String Long Scale (.170)

D'Addario's XL Nickel Wound single strings deliver the bright, articulate tone bass players rely on for clarity and cut. This .170 gauge, long-scale tapered model suits replacement builds or custom set assembly across various tuning setups. Manufactured stateside at D'Addario's New York facility, nickel-plated steel construction ensures consistent intonation and reliable performance session after session.

Round-wound nickel-plated steel construction yields a distinctive bright character with pronounced fundamentals and increased output. The tapered design accommodates long-scale instruments whilst the single-string format allows bass players to swap worn or damaged strings without replacing a full set. Uncoated wrap resists buildup and responds directly to pick articulation, offering enhanced sustain and bite ideal for players seeking transparency in their tone.
