D'Addario XL Half Rounds 6-String Bass Guitar Strings - ENR71-6 - Long Scale - Regular Light, 30-130

XL Half Rounds bass strings, referred to as the “third type of string,” strike an ideal balance between round wound and flat wound strings. These Half Rounds offer a smoother sensation than traditional round wound strings while producing a fuller sound than flat wound options. Crafted with a high carbon steel core and wrapped in pure nickel wire, they undergo a precision grinding process that enhances their smooth texture and minimizes finger noise. The tonal quality of Half Rounds is comparable to that of round wound bass strings, making them a versatile choice for musicians.

Designed specifically for 6-string basses, the 30-130 Regular Light Long Scale set features our most popular gauge. It includes a low B-string at the bottom and a high C-string at the top, providing a rich range of sound. The D’Addario ENR71-6 strings combine the familiar playability of the common 30-130 gauged 6-string sets with the unique advantages of the proprietary “Half Round” manufacturing technique. This set is suitable for long scale basses with a string scale length of up to 36 1/4 inches.

D’Addario Half Round bass strings utilize pure nickel winding, followed by a precision grinding process that results in a smooth, semi-flat outer surface while maintaining the flexibility associated with round wound strings. An exclusive heat treating process developed by D’Addario ensures that these Half Rounds preserve the brightness and sustain characteristic of round wound strings, delivering outstanding performance.

As the largest manufacturer of musical instrument strings globally, D’Addario holds the reputation of being “The Players Choice,” recognized for its commitment to superior quality and consistency. Their innovative packaging significantly reduces waste and protects the strings from corrosion, reflecting D’Addario’s dedication to sustainable practices. Each string set is produced in the U.S.A., utilizing state-of-the-art machinery that operates on a proprietary digital control system, ensuring unrivaled performance with every set.
