Five Strings, One Character – D'Addario EXL170-5 Nickel Wound Long Scale for the 5-String Bassist
The D'Addario EXL170-5 brings the trusted quality of the EXL170 to the 5-string electric bass. With a light gauge of 45-130, you get a bright, balanced tone across all five strings, with a low B-string (130) that has sufficient tension for a tight, defined tone. Ideal for rock, pop, funk, and jazz bassists who want to utilize the extra low end of a 5-string without sacrificing playability.
The EXL170-5 is wound with nickel-plated steel on a hexagonal steel core, ensuring consistent intonation, long life, and a comfortable playing feel. The 45-65-80-100-130 gauge is suitable for most 5-string electric basses with a long scale length (34"). Produced in the USA with D'Addario's strict quality control.
