D'Addario XTB45130 XT Nickel Plated Steel Bass Guitar Strings - .045-.130 Regular Light Long Scale 5-string Reviews
D’Addario’s XT strings are among the longest-lasting bass strings we at Sweetwater 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.

Long lasting, solid sound
I've always described these strings as having the sound of slightly broken-in NYXL strings, and holding that tone for a longer period of time. These have been keeping a show ready tone for 3-4 weeks with heavy use. It's great not having to change strings twice a week. I use them for playing some modern metal and they are plenty bright and aggressive for it.
Great Strings
Love these coated strings and they stay alive a lot longer.
