D'AddarioNYXL Nickel Wound Multi-Scale Tapered Single Electric Bass Guitar String .170 Gauge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
D’Addario’s NYXL .170 is a single nickel-wound electric bass string with a tapered, multi-scale design. It is made for extended-scale bass guitars, where the design is intended to provide balanced tension and precise intonation. Reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire retains a familiar feel while increasing harmonic content, supporting clarity and responsiveness across the fretboard. This is a focused replacement or setup choice for players working with the supplied .170 gauge rather than a complete string set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing or selecting a .170-gauge string on an extended-scale multi-scale electric bass.
- Bass setups where balanced tension and precise intonation across the fretboard matter.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Instruments other than electric bass guitars.
- Players needing a complete bass string set rather than one .170-gauge string.
