Product Information
The D'Addario XLB170T is a single replacement bass string engineered for long-scale instruments, designed and manufactured at D'Addario's New York production facility. Built with nickel-plated steel round-wound construction, this .170–gauge string delivers the bright, articulate tone that defines the XL Nickel series. It's ideal for players who need to source individual strings for custom sets or straightforward replacement without committing to a full set.
The XLB170T features round-wound nickel-plated steel wrap material over a proprietary core wire, engineered in-house to enhance break strength and intonation stability. At .170 gauge with long-scale construction, this string produces clear fundamentals and increased output, with the bite and sustain characteristic of D'Addario's bass offerings. The uncoated design maximises brightness and responsiveness, though it requires more frequent cleaning to resist the corrosion bass players typically encounter in high-sweat environments.
