The D'Addario NYXL45125 5-String Bass Strings are premium bass strings engineered for maximum strength, tuning stability, and powerful tone. Built with D’Addario’s exclusive NY Steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap, these strings deliver a thicker, more dynamic sound with enhanced harmonics and punch. They are designed to provide a modern, versatile tone that works across all genres, from rock and metal to funk and jazz.
This set features a 45–125 Light Top / Medium Bottom gauge, offering an excellent balance between playability and low-end power. The lighter top strings allow for smoother playing and easier bends, while the heavier lower strings produce a tight, focused bass response. Designed specifically for 5-string bass guitars, the set ensures consistent feel and output across all strings, including a clear and defined low B.
With advanced construction techniques like Fusion Twist technology and a refined core-to-wrap ratio, NYXL strings provide superior durability and longer lifespan compared to standard bass strings. Their enhanced break resistance and tuning stability make them a reliable choice for professional musicians, studio sessions, and live performances. Made in the USA, these strings are built to deliver consistent high performance every time.
