The D’Addario 5 String Bass Strings XL Nickel 45-135 – EXL165-5 is a set of five strings for a bass guitar. The EXL165-5 set combines the high strings from an EXL170 (.45 and .65) with the low strings from an EXL160 (.85 and .105). An additional .135 Low B string makes this set optimal for those seeking an ideal combination of comfortable playing tension, clear fundamentals and booming, tight lows.

The distinctive bright tone of XL nickel wound strings combines with greater dynamic control and a more consistent feel between strings. This production offers evenly balanced bending, strumming, fretting, picking, and plucking. XL Nickel Wound strings are precision wound with nickel-plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core.
