D'Addario EXL170 Regular Light

Really smooth, slinky and clear. A really nice clean sound for my fretless bass. People are already asking me where I purchased them and I’m happy to tell them.??

Love these strings. Bright sound and they’re great for my favourite genre of music which is rock. They’re also great for slapping (not so hot on that atm??)

I wasn't allowed to skip this review unless I got rid of my other reviews! So I have given it average even though I haven't tried the strings. I know D'Addario are really good strings though.

The strings were just part of a repair and set up of a 1971 Fender Precision Bass, carried out to a high standard.

I always use the identical gage each time I buy but sometimes try other brands, yet I keep coming back to D'Addario because of their tone, feel and value. The feel is silky and I don't get string drag when I do slides. The tone is rich and bright. I get a great tone on every stage without a lot of messing around with bass and amp controls. Good longevity as well.
