Long-lasting Bass Strings with Punch and Clarity

D'Addario's NYXL Bass Strings aim to deliver exceptional dynamic range and wide harmonic response. Their recipe is NYXL nickel-plated wrap wire around their NY Steel core. The plated string windings have increased magnetic properties that give you higher output and vibrant midrange tone. Bassists at Sweetwater like these strings because the rich harmonic content makes it easy to shape your bass guitar's tone for virtually any style. They also stay in tune very well. Whether you slap and pop or play laid back R&B grooves, you'll be able to find a great tone with D'Addario NYXL Bass Strings.

Note: May not be compatible with all string-thru body basses.

D'Addario - Making strings for over 300 years

Behind every set of D'Addario strings are over three centuries of fine craftsmanship. The D'Addario family tradition began in the tiny town of Salle, Italy, in 1680, where they made assorted instrument strings for over two hundred years before relocating to New York in 1905. As the modern string-making industry began to develop, the D'Addario family emerged as innovators by designing the winding machine most string makers still use today. And while their techniques have modernized, the pride that goes into each set of strings dates back to the D'Addario family's earliest roots.

D'Addario NYXL45130 Bass Guitar Strings Features:
  • Nickel-plated wrap wire over a steel core for enhanced output and harmonic content
  • Regular Light 5-string set: .045, .065, .080, .100, .130

Long scale, not long enough

Love these strings they sound and feel great! But unfortunately they were not long enough for my Schecter P-5 to string through the body. My fault, I did not see the note in the description about them not fitting all string through bodies. I should have bought the super long scale ones. They just barely fit top loading.

Still Believing The Hype!

What can I say? I’ve been playing guitar for over 25 years and have always trusted D’Addario for my string and accessory needs. I"ve used everything from Ernie Ball to GHS to SIT and no other product from any other manufacturer compares to the quality and tone of D"Addario strings. As a longtime user of their XL line, the NYXL line takes durability and tone to another level. I get more than twice the life out of the NYXL’s, while maintaining impeccable tuning stability and superior tone. These just sound that much better.

I recently picked up the bass and the first thing I did was replace the factory strings with a set of NYXL45130’s. At first I felt they were a little too bright, but after a few weeks, they have mellowed out a bit and sound much better to my ears. I guess I like my guitar strings brighter and my bass strings a little darker. The same impeccable tuning stability and tone apply to the bass set as well and I will continue to use these. I highly recommend them!

Try a set of NYXL’s yourself and you won"t believe what you"ve been missing!
Music background: Guitar player since 1991. Bass Player since 2019.

Great strings

I just wished they lasted longer
Rated 5/5

Great set of strings

Strings sound awesome, but the real show stopper is my man Alan Moon. I first purchased extra long scale strings because in the description of long scale it says they're good for 34" scale. My BTB is 35" and I didn't know that they covered a range of scales. I ordered extra long strings and Alan saw it and said… that's a bit unusual… let's check what this dudes got. Sure enough he was on the money and I got the right stuff. A+++

Very happy with these

These strings give my Music Man StingRay 5 a rich, bright sound. I'm very pleased.
