D'Addario XL Chromes ECB81-5 Regular Light Long Scale 45-132 Gauge 5-String Electric Bass Strings

D'Addario XL Chromes ECB81-5 Regular Light Long Scale 45-132 Gauge 5-String Electric Bass Strings

From D'Addario:

XL Chromes are among the warmest, mellowest bass strings we have to offer. These flat wound strings provide an ultra-smooth feel and a dark, yet warm tone, while allowing movement across the fretboard with no finger noise. Made with a high carbon steel core, Chromes stainless steel flattened ribbon wrap wire is expertly wound onto a series of interlocking under-windings, then precisely polished for unparalleled smoothness and a tonal presence which blends beautifully into the mix. Made for 5-string basses, 45-132 Regular Light gauge strings take our most popular bass gauge and add a low B-string.
