Replacement Single for Long-Scale Electric Bass

The D'Addario XLB110 is a single replacement string for long-scale electric bass guitars, wound with nickel-plated steel over a round core for a distinctive bright tone with clear fundamentals. Designed as a standalone replacement or as a building block for a custom gauge set, this string lets bassists swap out a worn or broken .110 without buying a full set. Round-wound construction produces the punchy, articulate character that has made the XL Nickel line a long-standing favourite across rock, pop, funk and metal styles. Manufactured in D'Addario's New York facility, the XLB110 matches the tone and feel of the strings that ship in complete XL bass sets, so it blends naturally when added to an existing set.

Who It's For

Bassists who need a single replacement string for a long-scale four-, five- or six-string bass will find this string useful without committing to a full set purchase. It is the right choice for players who want to upgrade a specific position, replace a snapped .110, or experiment with custom string gauges outside the standard set options. The bright, clear tone of nickel-plated steel round-wound construction works particularly well for rock, pop, funk, punk and metal styles where note definition and attack matter. Because the string is uncoated, it delivers the natural feel and response that many working bassists prefer, and it is manufactured in the USA to the same specifications as the strings in complete D'Addario XL bass sets.
