I am playing praise and worship music and not sure I want that real bright tone.** A: If you want to avoid any bright tone, then consider taped, flat finish strings that are designed to reduce string and fret noise. Your pick ups and playing style will also affect your tone. These are middle of the road for nickel wound strings. **Q: Is this a decent guage for drop b on a bass?** A: been using EXL-170 for years with drop B and D tuning 4 string - fender P bass no buzz super clear **Q: How are the mediums compared to lights, i am looking at these for my first string change and i don't know what i have now. Is there a big difference?** A: Not really a big difference. The most common gauge is 45-65-85-105 (Custom Light). If you like a bit more stiffness in your G and D strings, go with Medium. If you like a little looser E and A, go with Light. If you don't care one way or the other, just go with Custom Light.Mind you, again, it's not a huge difference. It's subtle. I like my E and A a little softer so it's easier to dig in, so I buy Lights (45 65 80 100). ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings - XL Nickel - EXL170 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Powerful Durability - 4 String Set - 45-100 Regular Light, Long Scale - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL110-3D - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light, 3-Pack - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9476684-electric-bass-guitar-strings-xl-nickel-exl170-regular-light-gauge](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9476684-electric-bass-guitar-strings-xl-nickel-exl170-regular-light-gauge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
