Durable coated bass strings for powerful tone and extended string life

The D'Addario XTB50105 strings are designed for bassists who need lasting performance without sacrificing tone or feel. Each string features an ultra-thin, moisture-repellent coating that maintains the natural touch and brightness of fresh strings.

Thanks to the innovative XT coating process, these strings last up to three times longer than uncoated versions. Made from High Carbon New York Steel, the XTB50105 set offers exceptional tuning stability and break resistance — ideal for demanding stage and studio use.

Every step, from wire drawing to winding and coating, is executed in-house at D'Addario’s New York factory to ensure unmatched consistency and quality.
