Bass players worldwide rely on Elixir Strings to maintain their incredible tone far longer than any other string on the market. These premium electric bass guitar strings have been specially developed using extensive feedback from over a thousand bass players, resulting in a comprehensive range that includes nickel plated and stainless steel construction options across four- and five-string sets in virtually every gauge you could need.
What sets Elixir apart is their innovative coating technology that covers the entire string, not just the surface. This comprehensive protection extends to the gaps between windings where tone-deadening grime typically accumulates in other brands’ coated and uncoated strings. The result is significantly more quality playing time between the hassle and expense of string changes.
Elixir has completely reimagined the stainless steel bass string, carefully balancing everything players love about stainless steel whilst minimising the traditionally harsh, shrill characteristics. These electric bass roundwound strings produce a bright, stainless tone with rich, deep lows. The specially redesigned NANOWEB Coating for bass guitars provides a smooth, natural feel that improves grip and reduces finger squeak, giving you great tone with exceptional longevity.
