D’Addario announces the launch of XS Bass, incorporating the world's most advanced film coating technology into a dedicated line for bassists. This expansion follows the success of the XS guitar line, applying the same film-coating construction to nickel-plated steel bass strings.
Enhanced Durability and Core Construction
Available in 4-, 5-, and 6-string options, XS Bass strings feature D’Addario’s proprietary NY Steel core, designed to deliver exceptional break strength and outstanding tuning stability. A re-formulated nickel-plated steel (NPS) wrap wire enhances output and harmonic richness, for a clear, responsive tone across a wide range of playing styles.
The Next Evolution in Bass Strings
"When we decided to release XS Bass, the vision was to design the world's best film-coated round wound bass string, following the same philosophy that brought XS Guitar strings to life. We are confident we have achieved just that.”
- Jim D’Addario, Founder
