  • Initial Thoughts .... Excellent - UPDATED
Size: Lt Medium, Long Scale (.045-.105) Style: 4 String Set Pattern Name: Strings
Only been playing bass for three years, changed strings 3 times. Started with the original fenders a year and then switched to Elixirs (brighter) on my Am Special P-Bass. Last time had mediums, this time I tried super light. Interesting that these have more mids than the mediums. Was able to lower the action; had to loosen the truss rod a bit and adjust my EQ (flatter now, the mediums had some boom that I needed to take out using the parametric EQ). Just put them on today, so we will see, but nice feel, sound great and I think I am going to have less left hand stress since I can play lighter. Maybe I will finally get some speed :) They do bend easier, but think I will adjust to that. Update: Got a new bass for my birthday with EMG-X pickups (NS Design Radius) and D'Addario EXL170's. I swapped them out the original strings (still new) for a set of Elixir super-lights. Lost tone. Record before and after (same settings on guitar and amp) and it was obvious that the Elixir's sounded thin. I tried some EQ adjustments and got an ok sound, but just not the same tones I was getting before. I tried a year old set of medium Elixirs; sounded a bit different, but still did not have that thick tone of the original strings. The Radius has an all maple body and graphite re-enforced maple neck, it is also headless, has a piezo in addition to the two active EMG's plus tuners on the bridge (strung upside down); so, completely different beast than the p-bass. Shame, I like the feel of the Elixir super lights. Maybe that the D'Addario's are nickel wrapped vs nickel coated. Anyway, like these on my p-bass, but obvious they are not going to work for everyone. ... show more

  • Tonic for your stringed instrument
Size: Lt Medium, Long Scale (.045-.105) Style: 4 String Set Pattern Name: Strings
My primary instrument is a Tobias Killer B 4 string bass guitar, I also play electric and acoustic guitars. I've have been playing since 1975. I played professionally for several years, at this time, I only play recreationally. I have used many brands of strings over the years, I had settled on D'Addario XL's but was constantly having to change sets to maintain the desired tone. They'd last for three to four days and were done. A fellow bass player suggested trying a set of Elixirs, but at the time I wasn't playing that often so I had a hard time justifying the extra expense for them. Awhile later I purchased a used Ibanez SR bass. It was five years old and still had the original strings on it. They still sounded great! In fact it was at least four more months before I changed them, only because they were getting a bit fuzzy. So I tried another set having been impressed with their warm balanced tone and exceptional durability. I have tried some other brands coated strings but so far have not found any others I would recommend. None have exhibited the longevity of the Elixirs. In my experience they are lasting about three months and I play at least 1-2 hrs. a day. Yes they are more expensive initially but will save you quite a bit of money in no time. I am not going to write at length about their tone because it is so subjective. I will say I find it to be completely acceptable. Not overly bright but clear and warm. I would characterize it like a just "broken in" tone that just stays there. I also have equipped both my 12 and 6 string acoustics with elixirs and am very satisfied with the tone and again exceptional durability. I use EB Super Slinkys on the electric guitars. I would recommend Elixirs to anyone, pro or novice. ... show more

  • Tone I’ve been looking for
Size: Lt, Long Scale (.045-.100) Style: 4 String Set Pattern Name: Strings
As soon as I got these strings, I put them on my Breedlove acoustic bass. Once plugged in, I was sooo full of joy. This is the mellow tone I’ve been looking for. I play in a church setting a lot, and these are perfect. If you are looking for punch and growl, these are not for you.

  • Best strings, will never use anything else
Size: Lt, Long Scale (.045-.130) Style: 5 String Set Pattern Name: Strings
I’d always used DRs which were fine but then a bandmate who used to play bass gifted these to me, and wow. I am blown away by the tone and longevity of these strings. I’m on month 7 without changing them, they look like dirty beat up old strings at this point but still sound great. A couple different sound guys have told me they love my bass tone in the past couple months. Elixirs nail that perfect goldilocks zone between warm and bright. I’ll probably get some new ones soon, obviously they are brighter at first but quickly settle into that awesome tone zone. Nice to have found the perfect strings instead of “good enough” and always wondering if something better is out there. One less thing to GAS over. ... show more
