D'Addario XLB032 Nickel Wound Bass Guitar Single String, Long Scale, .032

The D'Addario XLB032 is a single nickel wound bass guitar string designed for long scale bass guitars. The string has a gauge of .032 inches.

Nickel wound bass strings, as mentioned earlier, are known for their balanced tone and smooth feel. The nickel-plated steel wraps around a steel core, providing a combination of brightness and warmth.

The "long scale" designation indicates that this string is intended for bass guitars with standard or longer scale lengths. Standard scale length for bass guitars is typically around 34 inches. Using strings designed for the appropriate scale length helps maintain proper tension and intonation on your instrument.

A .032 gauge string is relatively thin for a bass string, usually used for one of the higher-pitched strings in a bass guitar set. Thinner gauge strings can provide easier playability and a more defined high-end tone.

It's important to note that bass guitar strings are typically sold in sets, and each string within a set is designed to complement the others. Mixing and matching individual strings from different sets might result in imbalanced tension or tonal characteristics. When restringing your bass guitar, it's usually best to use a full set of strings that are designed to work together harmoniously.
