D'AddarioEXL160TP Twin-Pack Bass Guitar Strings
1/5
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
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
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
- 01Check your bass scale length before buying — long-scale sets won't fit short-scale necks
- 02Four strings only. Five-string basses need a separate set
- 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.
