D’Addario NYXL Bass Guitar Strings – Nickel Wound
Premium uncoated bass strings built for strong tuning stability, clear harmonics, and a familiar nickel feel.
NYXL Bass strings are a great fit if you want a modern, punchy response that stays consistent through rehearsals and gigs. They’re designed for players who dig the classic feel of nickel-wound strings, but want more stability and a more “alive” top end when you dig in.
- NY Steel high-carbon cores for improved tuning stability and durability when you play hard.
- Reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap delivers a familiar feel with accentuated harmonics and definition.
- More versatile response from re-engineered core-to-wrap ratios—great for fingerstyle, pick, or slap.
Features
Premium, uncoated NYXL bass construction using NY Steel cores and nickel-plated steel wrap wire. Built to feel familiar under the fingers while keeping articulation strong.
Advantages
Better stability means fewer “mystery” tuning shifts across a long set, and the harmonic detail helps notes speak clearly in a busy mix. Great for players who want punch without going overly bright.
Benefits
Your bass feels more consistent night-to-night—cleaner intonation, stronger attack, and less time second-guessing your setup. A solid choice when reliability matters as much as tone.
- Gigging bassists who want dependable tuning stability and durability
- Players who like nickel feel but want clearer harmonics and definition
- Rock, pop, worship, country, funk—any mix where bass needs punch and clarity
- Anyone upgrading from standard nickel sets for a more consistent “locked-in” feel
Expect a tight low end with clear, articulate harmonics and a familiar nickel-wound feel. Ideal for players who want notes to stay defined under compression, drive, or dense arrangements—without turning harsh.
Note: NYXL Bass is offered in multiple gauges and configurations—if you tell us your bass (4/5/6-string) and scale length, we’ll match the right set.
NYXL Bass strings are for the player who wants their instrument to feel “ready” every time they pick it up—steady tuning, confident attack, and a clear note shape that doesn’t disappear when the band gets loud. If you’re on the fence between gauges (or you’ve got a 5-string that needs the B to stay tight), we’ll help you choose a set that fits your bass and your hands.
