My 1st choice for roundwounds
James894 13.11.2020
Having tried several other string brands over the years, I've always gone back to D'addario XL Nickels, for me they feel and sound amazing. I cannot fault them in anyway and are perfect for me. I play a primarily in a wedding/function band, paired with my P bass these cut through the mix and are punchy without being over bright/harsh. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone looking to try out nickel bass strings.

Best Strings in my opinion
Isaac Campos 05.03.2019
Just that...
I find in them anything I need, tone and definition-wise, and I just couldn't be happier with their quality!!!
I like to play around with different tunings, and thet offer a wide range of gauges. Also, the fact that a huge range of singles of any gauge are available to customize sets, is brilliant!!!
From time to time I try other brands, and many are OK, but is just I have found my feel and tone with D'Addario, and I'm always going back to using them.
It's a matter of taste, as always when sound is involved.
For me they're PERFECT, I love them!!!

These are my new standard bass strings!
I was looking for bass strings with a good quality/ price ratio.
I have been playing ernie ball slinky strings for quite some time
but I was looking for a cheaper alternative so I blindly bought
the Daddario EXL165TP just because of the 2 sets.

Anyway, the most important thing is the sound, which is great, too:
Great sustain, punchy lows and bright highs.
I play Punk & Hardcore mostly and I always add
some overdrive or fuzz to the sound which also suits
the sttrings sound perfectly, not too muddy not too harsh.

Also, they are really long lasting, it taks some time
until they start losing that brightness
It's a great deal, I will buy them again!

Most useful bass strings
Brbrn 26.05.2020
I'm amateur player, playing once a week, for 3 hours and the oldest ones lasts for 3 years. None broke or made damage. They are also gentle with the frets, nut and my rosewood. Most useful bass strings for variety of music styles. Moderate price is helpful - especially for this double pack. These are the right choice strings for those who appreciates reliability and are not experimenting

Good value for money
Traian80 08.03.2021
As bass strings are so expensive i prefer this set of 2 and save some money. Just classic D'Addario quality, they sound very good, it's a pity they loose their brand new harmonics so fast, just like every other string out there :)

Good value strings for bass
Vinter 23.02.2021
You can never go wrong with Daddario strings on your guitars. The value is excellent, not only is it competitive with other brands, but there is the Daddario Player Circle system that allows you to redeem Daddario strings for points which in turn can net you more strings.

What's in a name?
Ralphius 14.10.2020
I have used D'Addario strings on my acoustic adn electric guitars for years, so when I got an electric bass they were my first choice.

No complaints. Rich sound, nice feel and long lasting.

My string of choise
dnp41 18.08.2017
These are my strings, and they are so cheap!
I tried all sorts of strings, Labella's TI Flats, Chromes, Steel Wounds, and all have their pro's and cons, but these strings are up for any job, have the tension I like and last long enough. You can't go wrong with these.

Great fretless strings option
evernas 01.05.2019
I use them for long time and i would say, that they are one of few brands,that are so consistent in term of quality and tone-wise.Every pack i use does it has same tone and quality like previous one,no surprises,that many bass-guitar heroes like Gary Willis,Adam Nitti etc.,play with them constantly.
