## Description

Product Description XL ProSteels are D’Addario’s brightest bass guitar strings. The unique, highly magnetic alloy in ProSteels delivers super-bright tone with magnified presence and attack. Made with a high carbon steel core and stainless steel wrap wire, ProSteels produce enhanced interaction with magnetic pickups, offering a palette of harmonically rich, brilliantly penetrating highs, combined with pronounced, tight-and-tough lows. Made for 5-string basses, 45-130 Regular Light gauge strings take our most popular bass gauge and add a low B-string. From the Manufacturer EPS170-5 is the 5-string version of D’Addario best-selling ProSteels bass set. With the addition of the .130 low B string, EPS170-5 offers the ideal combination of biting high end, punchy lows and super long life. Fits long scale basses with a string scale length of up to 36 1/4 inches. ProSteels are D'Addario's brightest and most magnetic bass strings. A specialized steel alloy delivers harmonically rich, brilliant high-end coupled with deep, tight lows that work in tandem to create the coveted "Piano tone" steel players crave. Great for both articulate fingering or aggressive picking, ProSteels give you the extra edge and punch you need to cut through the mix.D'Addario, the world's largest manufacturer of musical instrument strings, is known as The Players Choice with a reputation for unsurpassed quality and consistency.

Review: ProSteels are fantastic- versatile tone with a little bit of age on them - This is the second set of ProSteels that I have purchased for my G&L M-2500. They're crunchy/bright for the first 3-6 months of life, then sound complex and absolutely amazing for the next 3 years or so (with regular wipe-downs)- very versatile! They're a little more rough under the fingers that nickle strings, but tension is about what you'd expect- not too soft or too stiff. My highest recommendation!
Review: Best Strings Ever! - These are by far the best strings I’ve ever used! They have been on my bass guitar for 2 months now and are still punchy and bright. The strings sound really cool when I slap the bass. Very bright on the pluck and nice punch on the low end. When I play finger pick style the strings have that nice stretchy and flexible feel like when I first put them on. Many of the other types of strings I’ve used in the past have gone dead after a couple of weeks but these are still going strong. The .045-.105 diameter of the strings are the perfect balance for me. I highly recommend these strings. You will not be disappointed. The performance is unbelievable. Oh, and the reason I mentioned about how long they have been lasting for me is because I play bass all the time at my church and practice at home every day so my guitar doesn’t just sit in the case. It’s used a lot... lol

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I use these, will I still be able to tune to E Standard?**
A: Yes, for sure.  The E string in this set is .110"  whereas a "normal" E string is .098" to .105" typically.  So these strings have in the neighborhood of a 5% greater diameter and mass, thus will require a slightly greater tension on the neck.  This will result in a "stiffer" string, where a lighter gauge string may feel "floppy" by comparison.  I like a lot of tension in my strings.  It gives me a truer, more consistent tone with a more aggressive attack and longer sustain.  It also eliminates the excessive neck noises and clicks one gets with floppy strings.  I used to buy DR heavy gauge strings exclusively, but these give me a compatible sound at about half the cost.  I recommend these...and I play a standard tuning (E-A-D-G).

**Q: Are the “pro steels” stainless steel?**
A: Yes of course

**Q: Will these fit a Fender Precision ?**
A: Unfortunately these will not fit a Precision Bass as they are "short scale" strings. The Precision Bass and other basses like it are "long scale" basses. Thankfully D'addario makes the same set with the same materials and gauge for long scale basses. Here is a link to that set.

**Q: Are these double ball?**
A: No, they're single ball end

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent choice, and super-bright tone for your bass guitar.
*by A***N on December 6, 2014*

I had read several reviews, and talked to a few bassists that have, or are using these strings. I heard a lot of good about them, so I thought I'd give them a try on my B.C. Rich Innovator bass. They're an excellent set of strings! D'Addario strings are my favorite anyway, so these were just icing on the cake. I generally play with half round or chrome strings, as I like that mellow bass sound. But, these were really nice for my 36" Super Long scale. They have that super-bright sound, but can also cover the low-end, without being too "twangy". I have 3 basses (B.C. Rich Innovator, Yamaha TRBX304, and an Ibanez GSR205). I use D'Addario strings on all 3, as I play a variety of music (Classic Rock, Indie, Fusion, Country, and some Heavy Metal). These ProSteels are great for several styles of music, are smooth during slides, and are easy on the fingers of both hands. I also use Fast Fret to clean and lubricate the strings, adding to the ease of play. Overall, these are a top-notch string, and I will be buying them again. The price on Amazon is also a real deal, compared to my local guitar shops. I'd highly recommend that you try these strings.
