D’Addario’s NYXL 09-46 hybrid set combines the flexibility of light trebles with the solidity of regular-gauge bass strings for a perfectly balanced feel. Crafted with a NY Steel core and nickel-plated wrap, these strings deliver greater strength, superior tuning stability, and enhanced midrange presence.

The hybrid gauge (.009–.046) makes it easy to bend on the top strings while keeping tight, articulate lows on the bottom—ideal for players who shift between rhythm and lead work. Expect longer string life, consistent tone, and excellent tuning retention, even under heavy bending or drop-tuning. NYXL strings are built for players who want cutting-edge performance without sacrificing the bright, musical feel of traditional nickel strings. Gauges: E4 .009, B3 .011, G3 .016, D3 .026, A2 .036, E2 .046.
