Description
If you’re tired of your tone going dull after a handful of shows, Elixir’s NANOWEB-coated Nickel Plated Steel strings are built to fight that fade. This set runs Light/Medium gauge, 45-105, and is cut for extra long scale basses.
The nickel construction gives you that classic rounded warmth with a bit more clarity and midrange punch than you’d expect from a coated string — not the scooped, sterile thing some coatings do. Under your fingers they feel smooth and natural, with way less of that finger-squeak that shows up on recordings and cuts through a quiet room.
- Rounded, punchy nickel tone with added clarity and midrange presence
- Smooth playing feel, minimal finger noise
- Holds up under aggressive picking and slap attacks
- Outlasts uncoated strings and most other coated strings for tone life
What sets Elixir apart is coverage — they coat the entire string, not just the outer surface, so sweat, grime, and stage funk can’t work their way between the windings and kill your tone early. For working bassists who’d rather spend time on the low end than on string changes, that means fewer swaps, more consistent response from set to set, and less money spent over the long haul.
Grab a set, tune up, and let your rig do the talking for longer.
