Fat tone *by A***K on 16 May 2016* Recieved it on time from Amazon. Good work. Strings are an absolute beauty to pluck, strum, slap n pop. It's got that fat tone. Simply superb. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fair to good *by P***R on 7 September 2024* like the sound quality, value for money, and feel of the musical instrument strings. they maintain their excellent tone even after extended hours of playing, are great for bass slapping, and are on the cheaper side of bass strings. the strings hold up just fine and are solid. happy with the tension, brightness, and functionality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice one *by B***G on 4 July 2024* Got this on my Warwick for a CGCF tuning. You'd probably need to file the nut and the bridge to make the 120 sits nicely. Galloping on the C strings is awesome, no longer feels like playing on strings made out of wet noodles. Its sounds a tad bright but that's exactly what i want. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Electric Bass Guitar Strings - EXL160BT 50-120 - Nickel Wound Bass Strings - For Bass Guitar 4 String - Balanced Tension Medium - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL110-3D - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light, 3-Pack - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings - 80/20 Bronze - For 6 String Guitars - Deep, Bright, Projecting Tone - EJ11-3D - Light, 12-53 - 3-Pack --- ## 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/365866748-daddario-exl160bt-nickel-wound-bass-guitar-strings-balanced-tension-medium](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/365866748-daddario-exl160bt-nickel-wound-bass-guitar-strings-balanced-tension-medium) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
