Designed with a high carbon steel core and nickel-plated wrap, these strings maintain a bright, natural tone while resisting corrosion. Made in the USA, they offer professional-grade durability and tonal versatility for serious bassists seeking consistent performance and extended playtime. ## Description XT Nickel bass strings offer enhanced strength, better pitch stability and longer-lasting performance than standard bass guitar strings. The XT coating provides advanced corrosion resistance, while still retaining the bright tone and natural feel of an uncoated bass string. Beneath the coating, XT Nickel bass guitar strings are constructed with a NY Steel core, nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, resulting in added resilience and tonal versatility, excellent for a wide range of musical styles. Review: Excellent for working bassists - Fender Ultra Jazz 5 string player. I have been using uncoated D'addario nickel roundwounds for decades. They would be dead in about a week of rehearsals and gigs. Using high end cabs with sensitive tweeters, I'd have to reduce the treble on the amp after installing a new set because it was just too much rattle and bite. These are great out of the pack with the eq flat....and the new string tone stays the same for WEEKS instead of days. Even the low B doesn't go dead after 1 gig, wow. Great feel, great slap tone. Something about them makes passive pickups sound epic also. A money saver for a gigging bassist. Seriously. Review: Thick, Responsive Tone with a Wonderful Texture - Since I started using the NY/XL and XT line, I've not been able to find a string quite as punchy, while balancing brightness and warmth, excellent and extended tension for tuning and intonation, and adaptable for my broad my playing style. The range of string weight gives very consistent tone and playability from top to bottom. The length fits perfectly for my Ibanez SR-500 and SR-505. My educated/estimated guess is the amount I trim on installation would be sufficient for a long-scale setup. These strings are worth their reasonable cost for how long the keep their vibrancy; I regularly use FastFret on all of my guitars to help prevent buildup and further protect from corrosion. As always, your mileage may vary. The quality of the few purchases I've made over the years seems to have stood up with some spiffy packaging upgrades. ## Features - EXTENDED LIFESPAN - XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings. - LASTS LONGER - Strings last at least 4 times longer than traditional uncoated bass strings. - BREAK RESISTANCE - High carbon steel wire and Fusion twist technologies deliver unrivaled tuning stability and break resistance. Strings stay in tune 131% better than traditional strings! - EARN REWARD POINTS - XT bass guitar strings sets come with a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – XT coated bass strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07TCR1TJL | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,314 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #78 in Electric Guitar Strings | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | extended lifespan treatment | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,060 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954309107 | | Included Components | Set of XT bass guitar strings | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Type Name | Bass Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 3.5 Ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | XTB45105 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Nickel Plated Steel | | Model Number | Long Scale, 45-105 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bass Guitar | | String Gauge | Medium | | String Material Type | Bronze | | UPC | 019954309107 | | Warranty Description | Replaced if defective. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Color:** Silver - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **String Gauge:** Medium - **String Material Type:** Bronze ## Images ![D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XT Coated Electric, XTB45105, Light Top/Medium Bottom 45-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61l-bIBpa6L.jpg) ![D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XT Coated Electric, XTB45105, Light Top/Medium Bottom 45-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SH4XDM78L.jpg) ![D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XT Coated Electric, XTB45105, Light Top/Medium Bottom 45-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61J0ZitixOL.jpg) ![D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XT Coated Electric, XTB45105, Light Top/Medium Bottom 45-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zu9RRbbaL.jpg) ![D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XT Coated Electric, XTB45105, Light Top/Medium Bottom 45-105, 4-String Set, Pack of 1 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vRDXac7xL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long do these strings tend to last?** A: They can last many years. It depends on your play style. And your care of your hands before you play. They will dull their tone over a long time and you may want to replace them so they brighten up. **Q: Eh, so you sell used guitar strings? How does that work?** A: I only sell new strings **Q: Are these round wound?** A: Yes these are Round Wound Strings. Please let me know if I can help with any of your future musical purchases. We pride ourselves in great customer service. Kind Regards, Troy ksmusiccenter **Q: Do these 6 string bass strings work on a squier 6?** A: When I bought them on Amazon they sent me an open package with used strings inside. Don’t buy strings on Amazon unless the are directly from manufacturer. SIT Foundation strings come directly from SIT and perfect every time. Squire is 34” scale bass most strings will fit ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for working bassists *by B***Y on March 9, 2024* Fender Ultra Jazz 5 string player.

I really don’t notice much difference between these and D’Addario’s regular strings which I suppose is a good thing. But wondering if it was worth the extra price for these. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario XT Coated Bass Strings - Electric Bass Guitar Strings - 4-String, Lt. Top/Med.
