"My recent decision to become a D'Addario player was solidified once I tried basses that had their strings. I realized they were the best for my preference in feel and sound. I immediately started using them and now experience the consistency, longevity, and high quality that I need when touring for months around the world."

Session Musician, "Project PH Band"
"The feel and consistency in sound, both live and in the studio, make the NYXL 45-130 strings my perfect choice."
