Elites is a bass string brand created in the 1980s by The Bass Centre, the long-running London bass guitar specialist shop. Strings are manufactured in the UK to the Bass Centre's specifications, and the line has built a quiet reputation as a player-favored, somewhat underground choice rather than a mass-market product.

The range covers most bass needs and includes the Stadium Series (stainless steel roundwounds known for a bright, punchy tone), the Player Series (warmer nickel-plated roundwounds), Detroit Flats (flatwounds aimed at a deep, classic sound), Groundwound sets, medium-scale options, dedicated headless (DBE) sets, and an Acoustic Bass Series with phosphor bronze winds. Elites also produces signature sets, most notably the Peter Hook Custom Signature strings developed with the New Order and Joy Division bassist.

Elites strings have been used by a range of professional bassists including Peter Hook, Guy Pratt, Norman Watt-Roy, Charlie Jones, Jerry Meehan, and Danny Thompson. The brand sits under the Bass Centre umbrella and is sold through the Bass Centre's own retail channels as well as third-party UK string retailers.

Elites has 5 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Strings. Their gear is featured by 7 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Blues. Notable users include Chris Wolstenholme, Peter Hook, and Colin Greenwood.
