Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Two sets of D'Addario bass strings in one pack. Buy it if you already know you like this set and want a spare on hand.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Gigging bassists who need a backup set in the case
  • Players who change strings on a regular schedule
  • Anyone buying strings they've already settled on

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Bassists still experimenting with gauge and tone
  • Players who rarely change strings — the spare may age in the pack
  • Anyone needing a five- or six-string set

D'Addario EXL160TP Twin-Pack Bass Guitar Strings construction detail

Detail 01

Twin-pack

Two identical sets. Lower cost per set than buying twice, but no variety to compare against.

Detail 02

Bass gauge set

Four strings sized for standard bass tuning. Not interchangeable with guitar strings.

Detail 03

Sealed packaging

The spare set stays protected from air until you open it, so it won't corrode sitting in your case.

Detail 04

Standard scale set

Sized for regular long-scale basses. Short-scale and extra-long basses need different lengths.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your bass scale length before buying — long-scale sets won't fit short-scale necks
  2. 02Four strings only. Five-string basses need a separate set
  3. 03New strings usually need retuning several times as they stretch in

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will these fit a 5-string bass?

No. This is a four-string set. A five-string bass needs a dedicated five-string set with a low B included.

02Is the twin-pack cheaper than two singles?

That's the point of the format — two sets bundled at a lower combined price than buying two individual packs.

03Will the spare set go bad sitting in my case?

Sealed packs hold up well. Keep it out of damp environments and away from heat and it'll be fine until you open it.

04Do these work on any bass?

They fit standard long-scale four-string basses. Check your scale length and string spacing first, especially on short-scale or unusual instruments.
