D’Addario XLB135 XL Nickel Wound Bass Single – 135 Long Scale

Description

The XLB135 is the heaviest-gauge long-scale single string in D’Addario’s XL Nickel Wound Bass Singles series. With a .135 gauge, this string is ideal for players needing maximum tension, tight low-end response, and full-bodied tone—commonly used for low B strings on extended-range basses or custom setups requiring extra-low tuning stability.

Constructed with round wound nickel-plated steel, the XLB135 delivers a bright, clear tone with excellent definition, even at lower frequencies. It’s built for durability and tonal consistency, making it an ideal choice for both single-string replacement and custom bass string sets.
