Description
Your low end is your handshake with the band, and Elixir’s NANOWEB-coated Nickel Plated Steel strings are built to keep that handshake firm from the first downbeat to the last encore. These 4-string sets in Medium Long .050-.105 gauge give you a rich, rounded voice with real clarity up top and enough mid-range meat to cut through a dense mix without fighting the guitars.
Elixir didn’t just slap a coating on standard strings and call it done. They pulled feedback from thousands of bass players and put over a thousand of us through real-world field trials to dial in a coating made specifically for bass — not a leftover from the guitar string line. The result is a string that feels natural under your fingers, with noticeably less of that squeaky slide noise when you’re sliding into a note or riding the E string on a groove.
What matters most for working bassists: this coating wraps the entire string, not just the outer windings, so grime and sweat can’t work their way into the gaps and kill your tone early. That means less time babying your strings between sets and more time actually playing them. Elixir backs this up with their own player survey data showing longer tone life than any other bass string out there, coated or not.
