D’Addario EPBB170 PB Soft Acoustic Bass String Set

The D’Addario EPBB170 PB Soft Acoustic Bass String Set, specially formulated for the modern 4-string acoustic bass. Warmth, bite, and depth characterize the EPBB170’s phosphor bronze strings, enhancing your tone whether plugged into an amp, microphone or PA system. Dependable intonation up and down the neck allows for expressive, confident playing. The EPBB170 string set is designed for acoustic bassists seeking rich, projecting tone and tuning stability during live shows or studio sessions.

Phosphor Bronze Strings for Warm, Balanced Tone

D’Addario pioneered phosphor bronze strings in 1974 to produce acoustic strings with a warm yet bright, well-balanced tone. The phosphor bronze wrap wire of the EPBB170 strings generates a warm tone with clarity and punch. Beneath the wrap, a high-carbon steel core provides a stable foundation for clear, responsive tone and intonation.

Precision Engineering for Modern Playability

D’Addario leverages state-of-the-art machinery to produce strings with unmatched consistency and performance. The EPBB170 set features gauges of .045, .065, .080 and .100 inches, a familiar feel for most 4-string acoustic bassists. A slim profile and hexagonal shape allow the strings to vibrate freely, resulting in enhanced resonance and sustain.

Roadworthy and Environmentally Friendly Packaging

The EPBB170 string set includes an innovative eco-friendly package that protects strings from corrosion without excess waste. Made from recycled materials, the resealable packaging has a minimal environmental impact. A durable, lightweight design also makes the strings highly portable and roadworthy.
