Jam on and on (and on) with the same premium electric bass guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. 

Specially developed based on in-depth feedback from more than a thousand bass players just like you, Elixir Strings' tailor-made selection of bass strings proudly includes nickel-plated and stainless steel construction options, four-, five- and six-string sets, long and extra-long scales, and virtually every gauge range you could possibly need. All with their 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.

Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?

Premium by design, these electric bass guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire boast a rich, rounded tone with incredible clarity and a heavy mid-range presence. 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 brighter bass tone, try Elixir Strings' Stainless Steel Bass Strings with NANOWEB Coating.  

Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.

    These strings last longer than most. Have a nice pop to them. Wouldn't use anything else. Cleanest sound by far. Def on the bright side if that's what your looking for.

    Good strings. Just bright enough for roundwounds. Instead of changing strings once a month i can now every 3 months or so making then a good value in the long term.

  • I would buy again

    Great feeling strings, easy on the finger tips, and they stay bright through many sweaty gigs, which is pretty phenomenal. Guitar Center shipping on the other hand is terrible. I bought a set to give as xmas present and they shipped in a plastic envelope, the string box came completely obliterated, and was unable to give them as a gift. I called, complained, and they shipped out another box (charging me again while making it seem like a warranty) and this box came just as destroyed as the first. so, crossing that item off of the gift list without giving it out.

    Love these strings. This is my 2nd set- 1st ones lasted 4 years, and I only changed them because of the age - they still sounded great. Very flexible strings, don't wear on the fingerboard or your fingers. Excellent sound! Best strings ever!
