Since I put these 'coated' EXP strings on, I've become a believer in their ability to maintain a certain brightness, but also give a nice smooth playability as well.

Extended life and brilliant tone
Gauges - .045 .065 .080 .100 .130
EXP170-S 5-string bass strings provide longer life and increased durability coupled with the brightness, clarity and sensitivity you've come to expect from D'Addario strings
Here is how they work: An ultra-fine layer of EXP coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire
The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound
And since the EXP coating is cross-linked to the wrap wire prior to winding, the strings sound fresh and bright
New-string tone lasts 3 to 4 times longer than traditional strings
D'Addario is the world's largest manufacturer of strings for musical instruments
Many top guitarists won't play any other brand
Regardless of your playing style, D'Addario has a set that's right for you.
