Always consistent quality from Daddario. Wish they did a hybrid set of 40-100 though.
HalfManHalfGear 29.07.2018
Like all their strings, bass and guitar, these are consistently great and don't cost the earth. I wish they had a hybrid set in 40, 60, 80, 100 gauges, but I have found a work around (albeit expensive). I just use the 100 and 80 with a 60 and 40 from a standard 34" set -as these are not too thick to go through the tuner posts and the extra length can just simply be cut off. Does mean I'm amassing a nice and useless collection of short scale 45 and 65 strings though....wonder if I'll ever find a buyer or use for them!

Un rapport qualité prix imbattable,,,
Sylvain030 26.05.2014
J'utilise des cordes de marque d'addario pour mes guitares éléctrique, acoustiques, et pour ma basse short scale. Vraiment leur rapport qualité/prix est meilleur que la moyenne et je suis très satisfait de leurs produits en général. Le prix est très raisonnable, ce qui fait que je n'hésite jamais à changer un jeu de corde qui arrive en bout de course. Pour les basses short scale, le choix n'est pas très vaste, mais j'aime bien jouer sur ce tirant, qui sonne bien sans être fatiguant pour les doigts. On peut toutefois regretter qu'il n'existe pas un tirant plus fort, car pafois c'est presque trop confortable et c'est bien agréable d'avoir un peu de résistance !
Quoiqu'il en soit, j'utilise ce jeu depuis des années et suis très satisfait.

Fast and powerful
Andy52 14.02.2020
After buying a Harley Benton Shorty, I replaced the original strings with these because I study Jazz and these are more suitable than the ELX160S.
Wonderful sound, deep in the low and imperious in the high. Easy and quick to play. Really satisfied. Thomann always prompt.

Nickel-wounds as they should be
Jonas2945 13.06.2014
The Daddario EXL170S are what i expect from good nickelwound strings. The got a warm and full tone, but still some bright ones. I use them on my Ibanez acoustic bass, and they fit really well. After using them half a year, they kept their sound without gedding muddy or loosing any sustain.

My first pick
Anonymous 09.01.2015
My first pick of strings. Great balance and sound for the money. Lacks that super bright heights that just sounds annoying, so to me thats a definite plus. Feels god to play and last as long as you could expect. Great strings!

First impressions: good
Leonidas from XIV 23.10.2024
I've only had these for a short time but installing them on my short scale Jaguar Bass worked perfectly fine, the length was great, fit the nut cutouts perfectly, no complaints.

The sound is nice, the feel pleasant to play and were affordable as far as short scale bass strings go (Harley Bentons unfortunately doesn't do any short scale strings). Would buy again, but I do hope that they last a while.
