Preserve Tone and Feel With Advanced Coating

D'Addario leveraged an innovative coating process to treat each string in the XT Bass set, enhancing durability and corrosion resistance without sacrificing the natural, uncoated tone and feel that bassists crave.

The long scale length of 34" complements most standard bass guitars, producing clear, balanced tone across all strings.
