Bass players worldwide rely on these premium electric bass strings to maintain exceptional tone far longer than any competing brand on the market. Developed through extensive consultation with over a thousand bassists, this comprehensive range features both nickel plated and stainless steel options across four-, five- and six-string configurations, accommodating long and extra-long scales with virtually every gauge requirement imaginable.
What sets these strings apart is the innovative full-string coating technology that protects not just the outer surface, but crucially covers the gaps between windings where tone-killing debris typically accumulates in other coated and uncoated strings. This comprehensive protection significantly extends playing time between the inconvenience and expense of string changes.
The nickel plated steel round wound construction produces a rich, rounded tone characterised by remarkable clarity and substantial mid-range presence. The specially redesigned NANOWEB Coating for bass guitars maintains a smooth, natural playing feel whilst improving grip and minimising finger squeak. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.
