All with our innovative string coating technology. And unlike Other string brands, Elixir strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in Other Brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings.

Meanwhile, the ultra- thin NANOWEB Coating, redesigned specifically for bass guitars, allows a smooth, natural feel that also enhances grip and reduces finger squeak. For a richer, more rounded bass tone, try our nickel Plated steel bass strings with NANOWEB Coating. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference.

  • Best Coated Bass Strings
Size: 4 String Style: 4 String Set
I’m a regularly-gigging bassist for a classic rock band, and all of my basses are equipped with Elixir strings. They hold tone the longest, are smooth on the fingers, and make me a better player. If you doubt me, try a set and compare them to what you’re using. I use the SS ones on my Spector NS Ethos HP for a brighter tone, and the nickel ones on my Fender P/J, my five-string Yamaha, my Rickenbacker 4003, my Sire V10dx and my 1983 Guild Pilot. These strings are ~$40 a set (look for sales), but they are worth every penny if you’re serious about playing and want to sound good. ... show more

  • Longevity is Worth the Price
Size: 1 Pack Style: 4 String Set
These strings are meant for the road, long jam sessions, and the long runs. Clear and bright for as long as they stay on. I play different styles: punk, rock, and metal with both pick and finger style and even through the sweat and dirt of many shows, these strings make it through. Learning jazz and classical works wonders with the bright and clear sound. It is a preference and leaves a lot to your instrument and amp. Besides the rare breakage (of ANY bass strings) and just treating yourself, there’s not many reasons to change these strings. The tone LASTS! If you’re gonna be the bassist that changes the strings once in a while, at least make it Elixir! Lightweight Funcional Playable for hours and hours ... show more

  • Insanely good for touring musicians
Size: 1 Pack Style: 4 String Set
The price tag is capital S STEEP , for me anyways but they're beyond worth it ! After playing so many shows you're quite obviously going to be tired so maintenance doesn't take as much of a priority as it should , with these though? My strings are never not bright and like new ! These maintain their tuning and tone stability no matter what they're put through , I don't even have a guitar case , I use a gig bag and these are STILL in perfect condition. Using a stingray bass I need bright strings that will compliment the naturally bright tone of the guitar, and these have never disappointed. Always bright , always in tune , always smooth . I don't think I'll ever choose another brand for my bass strings. ... show more

no me fije que tipo de tono eran cuando las compre, pero son brillantes. se ha desgastado poco el tono y les salio algo de oxido, con todo y que se limpian despues de tocarlas. 4 estrellas por eso, pero no quita es buen producto.

  • LONG lasting, bright, zingy, and full. Balanced mids, smooth lows, crisp highs.
Size: 1 Pack Style: 4 String Set
I've been string chasing for decades. I always come back to Elixirs. I prefer the brand new, fresh out of the box, round wound sound. I blow through a pack of most string brands after a week or two. With 4 basses in my rotation constantly gigging, recording, and practicing... I would blow $100 per month on strings easily. Elixir has solved this. Both the nickels and steels sound great. The nickels are a bit warmer and the nickels are a bit brighter. However I would consider them both to be a more slap, shimmer type of string. Again, that's exactly what I'm seeking. I get 3 months easily out of a set instead of the usual 2 weeks. I've pushed them as far as 6 months on basses that aren't used every day. ... show more
