## Description

D'Addario EXL170 Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Strings, Light, 45-100, Long Scale : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: Bright and Deep! - These are nice strings. They are bright for slapping on the first couple of months. They do last long, but get duller in about 3-4 months. Otherwise they sound deep. The tone is balanced. I don't wait more than six months to change the set, so I can't say much about it life.
