D'Addario XSB45100 XS Coated Long Scale Electric Bass Guitar Strings Regular Light 45-100

Long-Scale Bass Strings With Smooth Feel and Longer-Lasting Tone

The D'Addario XSB45100 XS Coated Long Scale Bass Strings are a regular light nickel set designed for electric bass players who want clear tone, smooth feel and extended string life. The .045 to .100 gauge range gives a familiar four-string balance, with enough firmness for clean low-string response while keeping the upper strings comfortable for fingerstyle, pick playing and melodic lines.

The ultra-thin XS coating helps protect the windings from sweat, dirt and debris, which are common causes of bass strings losing brightness and definition over time. This coating is designed to extend string life while keeping the feel sleek and natural, so the strings remain comfortable under the fingers without the heavy sensation some coated strings can have.

NY High Carbon Steel cores support tuning stability and intonation, while digitally controlled winding helps deliver consistency from set to set. Reduced string noise makes these strings useful for recording, smoother slides and cleaner movement across the fingerboard.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think these XS coated long-scale bass strings are a practical choice for players who want a dependable .045 to .100 set with clear nickel tone, stable tuning and a smoother feel that lasts longer between changes.
