XL Chromes are among the warmest, mellowest bass strings we have to offer. These flat wound strings provide an ultra-smooth feel and a dark, yet warm tone, while allowing movement across the fretboard with no finger noise. Made with a high carbon steel core, Chromes stainless steel flattened ribbon wrap wire is expertly wound onto a series of interlocking under-windings, then precisely polished for unparalleled smoothness and a tonal presence which blends beautifully into the mix. Made for 5-string basses, 45-132 Regular Light Super Long Scale strings provide players with a versatile, super long scale option, in our most popular string gauge. XL Chromes are a flat wound electric bass string, which provide a mellower tone than round wound strings. Chromes stainless steel flattened ribbon wrap wire is precisely polished for unparalleled smoothness and a dark, yet warm tone. Like all D’Addario bass strings, XL Chromes are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and reliable durability. Chromes sets have a code on the recyclable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. D’Addario bass guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility.
