What matters in use
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 01
Two identical sets. Cost per set drops, and you always have a backup when one breaks mid-run.
Detail 02
Ridged outer wrap gives bright attack and growl. More finger noise and more fret wear than flats.
Detail 03
Warmer than pure stainless, still magnetically strong. The common middle-ground for rock, pop, and funk.
Detail 04
Lower tension and easier to fret. Less thump than heavier gauges, and can rattle if you dig in hard.
Detail 05
Built for standard four-string bass. Five- and six-string players need a different set.
Final check

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. This is a four-string set. You'd need a five-string set that includes a low B.
Depends on how much you play and how much your hands sweat. Heavy gigging players change monthly; casual players get many months out of a set.
If you stay at the same gauge, usually not. Changing gauge shifts neck tension and may need truss rod and intonation adjustment.
Yes. Same EXL220 set, just two of them in one package at a lower cost per set.
