Elixir

collapse expand iconDescription

Elixir are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years, and deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.

Elixir NANOWEB strings are covered with an ultrathin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone.

Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great three to five times longer than ordinary strings.

    My bass came originally equipped with Elixirs. Tried several other strings but never found any better. Went back to Elixirs and glad I did

    I Love the coating, these are the thump and finger players strings. They hold up considerably longer than most other brands.

  • These strings are amazing!

    Some strings are good but that new string sound seems to disappear all too quickly. These strings are not only great sounding but they last so much longer.

    I’m sorry, I don’t know. I have no information at this point and Elixir doesn't list them. My Elixir bass strings are nickel.

    Elixir Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!
