    D'Addario XLB125 Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Single String, Long Scale, .125

    • With this string it easily holds the note and stays in tune well, as well as having great tone and tension even when tuned down to Ab
    • High tension on 34 inch scale neck nut great for any bass
    • Drop B. Feels good, sounds good, and decent tension.
    • Be warned though, you don't want to use this to tune to a B, because the tension would be ridiculously high and might warp your neck
    • I needed something slightly thicker to get the E to sound right.
