Designed for medium-scale bass guitars, the D'Addario Medium XL Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings deliver a balanced combination of punch, clarity, and longevity. This set features a medium gauge configuration—.050, .070, .085, and .105—that provides a firm low end and responsive tension, making it suitable for players who want greater dynamic control and fuller tone without sacrificing playability.

Built using D'Addario's proprietary high-carbon steel core and precision-wound nickel-plated steel wrap wire, these strings maintain consistent intonation and tuning stability across various playing styles. The nickel-plated steel construction contributes a bright, articulate top end and tight midrange response while retaining the warmth and depth essential for traditional bass tones.

Engineered specifically for medium-scale instruments with a string length of up to 34 inches (measured from ball end to silk/taper), this set is ideal for basses where standard long-scale strings can compromise performance or feel. Whether playing fingerstyle, slap, or with a pick, the XL series' magnetic output and tonal consistency are optimized for both passive and active pickup systems.
