Review: Love these,strings ,they feel so great , sound even better - been using these for about a year , just love the high end and the fat bottom, stainless steel is the way to go, clean hands, great sound and a fantastic price here ,last a long time, great feel when played not stiff , you won't be disappointed !😎 Review: Overall, Good strings πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ - I have always been a D'Addario and Rotosound string user however with their prices skyrocketing through out the years , I'm glad that D'Addario has maintained their prices fairly low and for stainless steel strings these sound great for under 30 bucks. Great sustain and warmth. However, the feel when sliding my hand up and down on the string is a bit ruff. The strings could've been a bit smoother. So I gave them 4 stars on sheerness cause they're not so sheer. Other than that, they sound great for the money. ## Features - Bright and Durable: Our brightest bass guitar string, XL ProSteels are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and reliable durability - Rich Highs, Tight Lows: Stainless steel wrap wire produces enhanced interaction with magnetic pickups, offering a palette of harmonically rich, brilliantly penetrating highs, combined with pronounced, tight-and-tough lows - Strings for Every Style: From jazz to metal to rock, bluegrass, blues, folk and more, we make great sounding strings for every genre and level from beginner to pro, including strings for bass, acoustic, classical, and 12-string - Sound Better, Play Better: Shop our whole collection of guitar accessories including string winders, picks, straps, capos, tuners, cables, gear bags and cases, plus strings for banjo, mandolin, ukelele and more - Made in the USA: As the world’s largest and most respected maker of musical accessories, D’Addario strings are made to exacting specifications at our cutting edge New York production facility ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006Z4B7C | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,085 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #14 in Bass Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Steel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Uncoated | | Color | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 359 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954945107 | | Included Components | 6-string set | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Highlight | XL ProSteels bass strings deliver bright punch, powerful output, tight lows, stable tuning and durable steel performance. | | Item Type Name | Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

Other than that, they sound great for the money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bright and lovely *by I***N on August 29, 2022* I have a nickel allergy and a six-string bass, and these were the most accessible strings for that particular combination of factors. The sound is quite nice, and while it takes a while for the oils from your hands to sort of lube up the strings to allow for slides and such, they will get there, and they will play smooth. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings, XL Pro Steels, EPS170-6, Long Scale, Regular Light Gauge 32-130, 6-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings - XL Nickel - EXL170-6 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Powerful Durability - 6 String Set - 32-130 Regular Light 6-String, Long Scale - Ernie Ball 6-String Long Scale Slinky Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, 32-130 Gauge (P02838) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/4408495-xl-prosteels-bass-strings-eps170-6-32-130-6-string](https://www.desertcart.us/products/4408495-xl-prosteels-bass-strings-eps170-6-32-130-6-string) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
