D’Addario XT Nickel Plated Steel Regular Light 5-String 45-130 Bass Strings – £47 New

5-String

A 5-string guitar typically refers to a bass guitar with an extra lower string (usually a low B), extending its range below the standard 4-string bass. This added string gives players access to deeper, heavier tones popular in modern genres like metal, jazz, and hip-hop. While 5-string guitars (as in regular 6-string guitars minus one string) are less common, the term most often relates to basses. The extra string provides more versatility for playing complex lines, heavier riffs, and broader chord voicings, making 5-string basses a go-to for musicians wanting both punch and extended range.

About Daddario

We have new and used Daddario musical equipment available on our website for fast direct delivery from sellers across the UK & Europe.

So, we get down to the details to solve problems that musicians didn’t even know existed. This could be finding the perfect surface for a drumhead. Infusing a new alloy in a core wire. Or meticulously inspecting miles of cane fields in France and Argentina to ensure our reeds are the most balanced in the business.

This relentless pursuit of perfection is how we pioneered products like Phosphor Bronze in 1974. It’s how we built the first automated string-winding machine. And it’s how we’ve earned more patents in musical products than any other company in our industry. It’s also how we’ve acquired companies like Evans and Planet Waves, Promark and Kaplan. In these partnerships, the products don’t just get better – the entire industry standard is elevated.

There’s a unifying principle to all of this. And that’s to drive the music industry forward with every innovation – whether it’s through our products, or through initiatives like Playback, the world’s leading string recycling program. Or through the D’Addario Foundation, which donates a percentage of our profits to music programs in underprivileged communities.

We continually innovate so that everyone who works in music – from the players to the technicians, the managers to the guitar manufacturers – can keep inspiring musical performances that last for generations.
