NYXL is D’Addario’s premium range of non-coated electric bass and guitar strings. Decades of insatiable groundbreaking in strings technology has amalgamated this heady concoction of high-strength steel and the highest quality, premium wrap wire. D’Addario quotes: “NYXL bass strings thump harder, bend farther and sound thicker than any bass string you’ve played before.” So let’s get drop in.

There are three fundamental parts of D’Addario NYXL bass strings:

NY Steel
At the heart of every NYXL set is D’Addario NY Steel. NY Steel core wire is produced exclusively in D’Addario’s purpose-built, dedicated wire-drawing facility in Farmingdale, New York. Here, they use advanced machinery and processes to consistently draw high-carbon steel wire which has unmatched strength, stability, and break resistance.

There are no other strings sets that can match the level of tuning stability and outright strength offered by D’Addario NY Steel in NYXL. D’Addario literally ‘torture tests’ their strings by relentlessly bending them from concert pitch up two whole steps and back again while being played. And even then they’re only ever at 75% of their breaking point… all other brands’ strings have given up.

Fusion Twist
This is a way of locking in the ball-end creating a more stable anchor point. Using heat fusion and some D’Addario engineering magic eliminates any movement or slippage at the ball-end. Combining this with NY Steel is how D’Addario creates strings with exceptional tuning stability that play in-tune instantly.

NYXL Wrap Wire
Premium NYXL wrap wire, made from refined nickel-plated steel, is the real tone of D’Addario NYXL strings. Years of research and refinement has given D’Addario the tools to actually engineer the tone of their strings. NYXL strings provide an accentuated full, thick, yet controlled bass tone with that silky D'Addario feel.

NYXL artists currently include: Becky Baldwin, Damian Erskine, Eugene Abdiukhanov, Harmoni Kelley, Jonathan Toscano, Yolanda Charles, and Steve di Giorgio.
