D’Addario’s XT strings are among the longest-lasting bass strings we at JB Music have tested, thanks to their thin, durable coating. And we do mean thin — you won’t even know it’s there. XT bass strings employ D’Addario’s proprietary high-carbon steel core and fusion twist technology, ensuring that they play easier and stay in tune better, even under the heat of a live performance. XT bass strings boast nickel-plated windings with enhanced magnetic properties for increased output and enhanced dynamic range. Whether you play rock or soul, you’ll appreciate the clarity, warmth, and balance you get out of D’Addario’s XT bass guitar strings.

XT Nickel bass strings feature an advanced corrosion resistance coating, extending string life, while preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings.

Nickel-plated steel wrap wire provides a bright, versatile bass tone, great for a variety of musical genres.

Fusion Twist technology assures XT Nickel bass guitar strings stay in tune better, while the NY Steel core wire offers greater break strength.

XT bass sets have a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.

D'Addario bass strings are made in the USA—drawn to exacting specifications at our New York production facility.
