The EPS170-5SL is a light gauge string set designed for 5-string, super long scale electric basses. These XL ProSteel strings use a stainless steel wrap wire. This special design enhances the interaction with magnetic pickups, delivering a bright and prominent tone.
To use these D'Addario EPS170 - 5SL bass guitar strings, first, loosen the old strings and remove them from your bass. Then, thread the new strings through the bridge and the tuning pegs, making sure they are properly seated. Tune the strings to the correct pitch. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the bright tone and also extend the lifespan of the strings. Also, avoid exposing the strings to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any signs of wear or breakage, replace the strings right away to keep your bass sounding its best.
