Description
Every gigging 5-stringer knows the moment a set goes dead right before a run of shows. Stock up and sidestep that entirely with this 12-pack of Elixir Nanoweb Light strings (item 14202), built for long scale 5-string basses.
Elixir wrapped these in their signature Nanoweb coating — a micro-thin layer that stays out of the way of your fingers. You get the articulate punch and bright attack most players associate with bare, uncoated strings, but paired with a coated set’s resistance to grime, sweat, and the slow tonal death that kills your low B’s growl. The feel under the fretting hand stays natural, not slick or rubbery, so your muscle memory doesn’t have to adjust.
Where Nanoweb really pays off is longevity. These sets hang onto their punch and clarity way past the point where standard strings go dull and thuddy. For a working bassist, that’s fewer string changes, more predictable tone night after night, and real savings over time since a case of 12 stretches your restring budget a lot further.
- 12 individual 5-string sets, long scale
- Light gauge for a responsive, playable feel
- Nanoweb micro-thin coating for uncoated tone with extended life
- Consistent low-end clarity from your low B through the top string
Load up your case, keep a backup set in the gig bag, and stop worrying about when your bass is going to sound tired.
