EXL160S Medium/Short: 050 070 085 105.
D'Adario's most popular electric bass strings. Nickel-plated steel provides a strong magnetic output and a comfortable, smooth playing surface that reduces premature wear of the frets.
EXL strings have a crisp, clear sound and perfect intonation.
The set consists of:
- XB050S G.
- XB070S D.
- XB085S A.
- XB105S E.
What length (scale) of strings should I choose? Most electric basses have a long scale, but of course there are exceptions.
Measure on the bass side, when the string is at pitch, the distance between the inside of the ball and the top saddle.
- Short scale: up to 32".
- Medium scale: 32" up to 34".
- Long scale 34" up to 36".
- Super long: 36" up to 38".
