A long time since I bought strings . Could anyone recomend** A: Hi there,Thank you for your query.I would suggest looking Phosphor Bronze strings rather than bronze for jazz, as they have a warmer tone.The D'addario EPBB170s, which we sell, are a good choice for acoustic bass.Kind Regards,Rachel LongstoneSales & Customer CareRich Tone Music **Q: Also, what will the tuning be when the tensions in the strings are standard?** A: I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the tension being standard, however I can say that I've had my strings in standard tuning since I bought them, and the tension in the strings is just right after they adjusted :) Hope this answers your question **Q: will these fit my ibanez mikro 28.5 scale length** A: Hi StevenYes they will fit, you will just need to cut trim them down more than usual once they are fittedThanksJackRockem Music ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good strings *by M***X on 31 January 2026* These strings are amazing n sound so good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent strings *by D***N on 15 May 2025* For a short scale, these are ideal. I chose the 50 to 105 and getting good output and the tension balance is spot on. Usually I prefer the flatwounds but are too expensive, I've adapted my bass by changing the capacitor to a 0.068uf one and now have the tone flexibility I want. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bright strings - perfect for Jaguar Short Scale. Bass *by S***G on 22 January 2020* Fit my Jaguar Short Scale bass. Lovely bright slap tone - different tension to the strings Fender had fitted so just watch Dave's World of Fun Stuff on how to setup Jaquar Short scale and you will be able to set up your bass just right. I was going to buy another bass but these strings, plus a replacement Jazz pickup (the preinstalled one is weak) and I have a super and versatile bass. Can't wait to play live with them. Wonderful tone. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Bass Guitar Strings - XL Nickel - EXL160 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Powerful Durability - 4 String Set - 50-105 Medium, Long Scale - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL110-3D - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light, 3-Pack - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/53114223-exl160-electric-bass-guitar-strings-nickel-wound-medium-50-105](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/53114223-exl160-electric-bass-guitar-strings-nickel-wound-medium-50-105) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
