Review: Nice strings. - They sound absolutely beautiful when first put in. With moderate use and frequent wiping down and conditioning the strings (Dunlop 65), they sounded bright and jazzy for about 3 months, now they sound warmer, but still have a nice clean tone. I suppose coated strings would be the way to go if you're looking for a product with tone longevity. Review: Got Strings? - Nice strings, replaced tired strings of another brand on a Square SS. Took a couple hours of playing to settle in which I understand is normal. They sound as good and better then I was hoping for. Price was good for a decent set of strings. Will continue to buy this brand from desertcart. ## Features - THE PLAYERS CHOICE – With their clear fundamentals, booming tight lows, and reliable D’Addario construction, they’re trusted by players everywhere to handle any performance. - TIGHT, BRIGHT TONE – Nickel-plated steel wrap wire provides a bright, tight bass sound, great for a variety of musical genres. - FOR THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE – Like all D’Addario bass strings, XL Nickel are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and powerful durability. - EARN REWARD POINTS - XL Nickel bass sets have a code on the recyclable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – XL Nickel bass guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000H29I6I | | Best Sellers Rank | #255 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #2 in Bass Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Steel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Coated | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 422 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954951375 | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Type Name | Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 80 Grams | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

With moderate use and frequent wiping down and conditioning the strings (Dunlop 65), they sounded bright and jazzy for about 3 months, now they sound warmer, but still have a nice clean tone. I suppose coated strings would be the way to go if you're looking for a product with tone longevity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got Strings? *by K***R on July 25, 2016* Nice strings, replaced tired strings of another brand on a Square SS. Took a couple hours of playing to settle in which I understand is normal. They sound as good and better then I was hoping for. Price was good for a decent set of strings. Will continue to buy this brand from Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bass strings for a lead bass/slap sound *by S***M on July 18, 2013* I was blown away by these strings. The very light gauge makes them very easy to play on and if you have a bass processor ( I use an ol boss me-6b) You can enhance the sound to get some great, great tone from them. Being a bass player that rather would be heard than felt, I wanted something that put me out there with the guitarist and these string are catalyst. Highly recommend for bass players that want to be heard ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario EXL220S Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, Super Light, 40-95, Short Scale - Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinky Nickel Wound Set (09-42) - D'Addario EXL120-7 Nickel Wound 7-String Electric Guitar Strings, Super Light, 09-54 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1867344-electric-bass-guitar-strings-xl-nickel-exl220s-super-light-gauge](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1867344-electric-bass-guitar-strings-xl-nickel-exl220s-super-light-gauge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
