Our take on the 45-105 Regular Light Top/Medium Bottom, Long Scale, XT Nickel Coated Bass Strings

D'Addario XT Nickel bass strings are coated electric bass strings built on a NY Steel core with nickel-plated steel wrap wire and Fusion Twist technology. The thin XT coating is meant to resist corrosion and hold tuning longer while keeping the bright tone and natural feel of an uncoated string. The 45-105 set pairs a lighter top with a medium bottom for a tight low end and a balanced, bright top. They suit players who want coated-string life without a slick, dull feel, and they sit above D'Addario's standard nickel sets on durability while staying closer to a traditional feel than heavy-coated rivals.

Best forBassists who want coated strings that still feel and sound uncoatedPlayers tired of strings going dead from sweat and humidityRock, funk and cover-band players who need one set for many stylesFour-string players wanting a light top with a solid low end
