D'Addario NYXL45130MS Regular Light Multiscale 5-String Fanned Fret Bass Strings 45-130

D'Addario NYXL45130MS strings are a premium, uncoated nickel wound set designed specifically for 5-string multiscale fanned fret basses. With a versatile 45-130 regular light gauge, they deliver a powerful, punchy low end, rock solid tuning stability, and a familiar, comfortable feel that suits modern players who need clarity, definition and serious durability.

Built around D'Addario's high-strength NY Steel core with reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, NYXL bass strings are engineered to hit harder, stay in tune longer and bring out extra harmonic detail across the entire fingerboard. This multiscale set is optimised so each string performs consistently at its own scale length, giving you an even response from tight, focused lows to articulate, singing highs.

If you play progressive metal, djent, modern rock or any style that relies on extended range riffs and complex lines, NYXL45130MS gives you the confidence to dig in without worrying about tuning drift or premature string failure. The enhanced output and harmonic content help your tone cut through dense mixes, while still retaining the smooth, musical feel of a classic nickel wound string.

NY Steel Core for Strength and Stability

At the heart of NYXL45130MS is D'Addario's NY Steel core wire, formulated for significantly higher break strength and improved tuning stability compared to standard bass strings. This means you can play harder, tune less often and trust your strings to hold up under aggressive right hand attack, drop tunings and extended sets.

Reengineered Nickel Plated Steel Wrap

The reformulated nickel plated steel wrap wire uses a carefully adjusted core to wrap ratio to deliver a more versatile tone with a familiar feel under the fingers. You get a thicker, more present sound with accentuated harmonics, making chords, slides and melodic lines stand out clearly without sacrificing warmth.

Optimised for 5 String Multiscale Basses

Designed specifically for 5 string multiscale and fanned fret instruments, this set ensures each string performs consistently at its own scale length. The result is a tighter, more controlled low B, balanced tension across the neck and an even response that suits modern, highly articulate playing styles.

Uncoated Feel with Premium Performance

NYXL45130MS is an uncoated set, so you retain the natural, immediate feel and response that many bassists prefer, while still benefiting from the enhanced strength, tuning stability and tonal consistency of the NYXL design. The resealable VCI packaging also helps keep unused strings protected until you are ready to install them.
