D'Addario XT Coated Nickel Wound 32-130 6-String Bass Guitar Strings, Long Scale
- 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.
**PLEASE NOTE** These strings measure 36.25" / 92cm from the ball end to the start of the taper. These strings have no silk winding at either end of the string.
D'Addario says this is the 'most technologically advanced string ever created' - a bold statement... but, when you play these you'll understand what they're talking about!
XT is an amalgamation of string technologies including a microscopically thin hydrophobic treatment on all strings, high carbon NY steel core, and fusion twist ball end fastening, resulting in a string that lasts 3x longer than a regular set while maintaining the tone and feel of a brand new standard set. This intense combination of high-carbon NY steel core wire with the extended lifespan treatment across the full set boasts class-leading break resistance, pitch stability, and long-lasting performance.
XT strings are designed both for professional players who need to ready to play at any minute, demanding instant performance; and also players who just want to play and don't want the fuss of changing strings.
Features:
- extended life-span treatment that preserves the natural tone and feel of newly-made strings
- made with high carbon steel found in NYXL and Nickel Bronze for enhanced break-resistance and tuning stability
- thin, hydrophobic coating protects every string in the set from the corrosive effects of sweat & humidity

We insist that players use the measurement of ball-end (anchor) to top nut of their current set of strings. This measurement is more accurate than scale length as it takes into account through-body stringing, and more complex or alternative bridges. In many cases the set of strings required will be longer than the bass’s stated scale length! Use these references:
If ball-end-to-nut length is:
Up to 32” choose Short Scale
32”-34” choose Medium Scale
34”-36” choose Long Scale
36”-38” choose Extra/Super Long Scale
If you have a bass where you cannot see the ball-end i.e. a thru-body bass, you will have to measure your string once it has been removed. Before removing the string be sure to make a mark on the string with a permanent marker just behind the nut so you know where to measure to. Then once you’ve taken it off the bass, you can measure from the ball-end to the mark you made on the string.
