Frequently asked questions
- What do NYXLs offer over standard bass strings?
- D'Addario claims better break resistance, steadier tuning and more midrange presence, thanks to the NY Steel core and the reengineered core-to-wrap ratio.
- 45-100 or 45-105: can you feel the difference?
- Only the low E changes. Here its .100 pulls 34.3 lb, the lowest tension in the set.
- Are these strings coated?
- No. D'Addario suggests wiping them after every session so they last.
