Description
For bassists who demand both durability and exceptional tone, Elixir Bass Strings with Nanoweb coating offer a remarkable solution. These strings deliver the best of both worlds: the vibrant punch of uncoated strings combined with the extended lifespan and comfortable feel of coated ones. The proprietary Nanoweb coating acts as a protective barrier, preventing dirt and sweat build-up, thus preserving the crisp sound even after numerous gigs and practice sessions. Whether you're slapping, popping, or laying down smooth grooves, these strings provide a consistent, expressive tone that won't wane over time.
Crafted with nickel-plated steel, Elixir Bass Strings are designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional musicians like John Paul Jones and Tiffany Lloyd. The light-medium gauge makes them perfect for long-scale basses, offering a robust low end while allowing for nimble high notes. This balance ensures that every performance is as dynamic and engaging as the last. Experience the difference of strings that are always ready to perform, whether on stage or in the studio.
Key Features:
- Designed for electric bass
- Nanoweb coating enhances durability and feel
- Nickel-plated steel for a smooth, expressive tone
- Light/Medium gauge (0.045 - 0.105) ideal for long-scale basses
- Prolonged string life, reducing the need for frequent replacements

Long-lasting great tone
Quiet expensive, but worth it. The great sound of new strings last for an impressive long time especially as I have quiet heavily sweating hands.

I got them for my bass to replace the daddario strings I had. It was recommended by my teacher
Artist usage
Add artist
I went for a fairly minimal setup for this album. I recorded everything with a Zon Sonus 6-string bass with Elixir strings, which went direct into an Avalon U5 DI. For distortion/fuzz, I used the Darkglass B7K and Vintage Microtubes, as well as an Amptweaker TightFuzz. My favorite piece of kit, however, was the Boss OC-2, which I used for sub-octave effects on “The Architect” and “Red Giant.
