D'Addario ECB81-5SL XL Chromes Flat Wound 5-String Bass Strings (Super Long Scale, 45-132)
Overview & Tone D'Addario XL Chromes are the industry standard for flat wound bass strings, engineered for an ultra-smooth feel and a warm, mellow, vintage-voiced low end. The flattened stainless steel ribbon outer wrap is polished to a glass-smooth finish, eliminating finger squeak while delivering deep, rounded fundamentals and a punchy midrange that sits cleanly in any mix. Built around high-carbon steel hex cores for reliable tuning stability and precise intonation across all five strings.
Fit & Scale Length
Designed specifically for 35" and 36" extra-long / super long scale 5-string basses (or 34" scale basses equipped with through-body stringing that requires extra winding length).
Ball-end to taper length accommodates extended-scale instruments without the winding ending prematurely before the nut.
