Regular Light Long Scale Coated 6-String Bass Strings XTB32130
XT Nickel bass strings offer enhanced strength, better pitch stability and longer-lasting performance than standard bass guitar strings. The XT coating provides advanced corrosion resistance, while still retaining the bright tone and natural feel of an uncoated bass string. Beneath the coating, XT Nickel bass guitar strings are constructed with a NY Steel core, nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, resulting in added resilience and tonal versatility, excellent for a wide range of musical styles. Made for 6-string basses, this 32-130 Regular Light set takes our most popular gauge and adds a low B-string on the bottom, as well as a high C-string on top.

Why does the ball end side of the low B string for my bass have a taper?
Many 5-string bass players prefer a tapered end for the low B string. This allows the heavier gauge low B string to be positioned on the bridge more evenly with the other 4 strings. The taper can also improve the clarity of the fundamental tone, which improves intonation.
