Super long scale basses need strings built for the extra tension, and the NYXL45100SL delivers. This is D'Addario's 45-100 4-string set wound on NY Steel, their high-carbon steel core that handles the added string length without sacrificing tuning stability or tone.
The nickel-plated steel wrap wire gives you a bright, articulate sound with strong low-end definition, and the Fusion Twist ball end locks in at the bridge so you're not dealing with slippage or unwinding at the anchor point. The 45-100 gauge is a standard choice for players who want a balanced feel across all four strings without going too heavy.
If your bass has a 35-inch or longer scale length, these are built for it. Most standard strings aren't wound long enough to properly seat in the nut on a super long scale instrument, which affects both tone and intonation. The NYXL45100SL solves that problem with the right construction from the start.
We stock these at The Pied Piper of New Albany and our Charleston showroom, and they ship fast to bass players across Columbus, Westerville, Dublin, Gahanna, Powell, Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Johnstown, and the broader central Ohio market.
