The XS coating is ultra-thin, engineered to extend string life while maintaining the punchy character and frequency response that working bassists demand. Built on a reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap around a round-wound core, these strings target players who refuse to choose between durability and tonal clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 45-105 gauge set (Regular Light Top\/Medium Bottom) strikes a practical balance: the lighter .045 to .065 top strings favour articulate, responsive playing across the higher registers, whilst the heavier .085 and .105 bottom strings deliver tighter low-end definition without muddiness. Round-wound construction provides the textural feedback and sustain characteristic of vintage-style tone, whilst the nickel-plated wrap wire delivers the midrange punch and presence needed to cut through a mix. Long scale length accommodates full-sized 4-string basses with standard 34-inch dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXS ultra-thin coating extends playable life without dulling treble response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire for balanced, punchy tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45-105 gauge set: lighter top, medium bottom for hybrid playing styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound-wound construction for vintage sustain and textural feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong scale length compatible with standard 34-inch 4-string basses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-string set designed for professional and gigging bassists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel winding resists corrosion and finger noise common in uncoated strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced high-end clarity with controlled, articulate low-end response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"D'Addario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739322855672,"sku":"XSB45105","price":89.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/5090\/4594\/files\/e4bcabb4fc25c0d44e4c9cbde2c6f0f2d00bbaf6-1000x1000.jpg?v=1780287418","url":"https:\/\/www.guitarbrothers.com.au\/products\/daddario-xsb45105-nickel-wound-coated-bass-guitar-strings-45-105","provider":"Guitar Brothers Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
