D'Addario XLB050 Bass guitar strings

D'Addario XLB050 Single Bass String — Long Scale Replacement

The D'Addario XLB050 is a single replacement string from the XLB Nickel Wound bass line, sold individually for players who need to replace one broken or worn string without buying a full set. At .050" gauge, it is designed for long-scale electric basses and uses the same nickel-wound construction as the full XL sets. Buying singles is a practical way to keep a spare on hand or customize the gauge of one position in an existing set, and the XLB050 fits that purpose for any standard long-scale bass.
