How to choose
Pick a set by matching string count, scale length and the tone you want.
Beginner
A beginner on a standard four-string bass can start with the D'Addario EXL170 Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings for a bright, easy-to-play regular light gauge. Change one string at a time when restringing so the neck does not lose all tension at once.
Intermediate
An intermediate player wanting a softer feel under the fingers can try the D'Addario XL Half Rounds Bass Guitar Strings for a tone between round wound and flatwound. Check your amp settings after switching string types, since tone character changes with the string finish.
Expert
A player on extended range basses can choose the D'Addario 6 String Bass Set or the Long Scale 5-String set at 50-135 gauge for the low end these instruments need. Have your bass professionally set up after a gauge change, since heavier strings can shift neck relief and intonation.
