EXL170S Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings - .045-.100 Regular Light Short Scale Review

Regular Light Guage Strings

Very clean sounding. Very bright, definitely not flatwounds. Rock tone. The strings have a very long clippable ends to accommodate for different short scale lengths (28,30,32) which is absolutely awesome. I play guitar myself, after changing these strings for my girlfriend, I played her bass for 2 hours. They're good.

Perfect Fit for My Longhorn

Perfect fit for Dano Longhorn short scale with small tuners. Nice bright tone, without being too "clanky." Smooth feeling round wounds, with perfect tension.

Best Strings and best price

I will say it now I am not a bassist. I am a guitarist who plays bass in the studio. I have a Squier Bronco Bass in Torino Red. Which I have modified with Emerson Custom Shop 50s P Bass wiring harness, and a Seymour Duncan Antiquity 51 p bass pickup. So it has turned into a mustang bass more less! I use nothing but Daddario on all my instruments. These strings are bright and fresh… read more out of the box! The sustain and punch from these strings are great these strings also have warmth when you need it. Some bass strings fart out when you tune them down and don"t keep their clarity but not these. They hold their tune amazingly when recording I never have to retune although I check the tuning after every take. If your playing with your fingers you get a nice even tone with tons of low end and low mid range, but you also get some sparkle. When you play with a pick, like myself... you get those great driving rock tones that I personally love. Slapping and popping really sound good with these strings and if you play with overdrive, which I do you get an awesome clarity and punch I can"t get from another string. Every bassist I have played with switched to Daddario after trying them. Two of them were die hard GHS bass boomer users. Another also used La Bella black nylon tape wound strings and he switched as well! I"ve tried them all, Ernie Ball,GHS, Fender, la Bella, even Rotosound (which I do like on Rickenbacker basses) these strings take the cake! Try a set and turn it up! You"ll love em
