Nickel Plated Steel

Elixir nanoweb coated strings are designed to retain their tone up to about 4x longer than conventional strings. On acoustic guitars, it is often observed that these kind of strings are duller when new than conventional strings, though guitars such as Taylors are now being designed with the particular characteristics of the string in mind.These bass strings, though, are easily as bright and bouncy when new as most bass players would wish for, and retain a brighter tone for much longer, as with their acoustic guitar cousins.These strings do cost about three times as much as a set of conventional strings, and experience with Elixirs suggests they are no less likely to break, so these would not be a good investment for players who regularly break strings -- though, with bass guitar, regularly breaking strings is almost certainly a sign of a sharp edge somewhere on the bridge or fretboard. For those who like to have a consistently good tone throughout the life of the string, and want to avoid the week or so of 'zingyness' which accompanies new strings, these are ideal, and well worth the extra.Strongly recommended for serious players.--A note on gauge.These are Mediums, 0.045 to 0.105, rather than the 0.040 Lights that many people play with. On bass guitar there is no particular reason why Medium should be a problem, and heavier strings should normally give better tone. However, a bass with already very high action which for some reason cannot be lowered would not be suitable for going up a string gauge.

Buying genuine strings is so much more rewarding from a person who has been duped in the past only ones

These strings have the NANOWEB coating which makes playing feel amazing! My fingers can glide very smoothly and quickly and it does not wear out my fingers as some other non coated round wounds would.They hold their bright tone very well so you wont need to change strings as often as other strings too. I have been playing finger style, with a pick, slap and the strings have held up through it all.

Fantastic lively Nickel strings for a bright warm modern tone. Sounds huge after EQ and Compression. I cant comment on the longevity of the Nickel Elixirs but ive had Stainless Steel Elixirs on my bass for the last 6 months and they sound just as good as they did when I first installed them, expecting the same for these.

They sound very bright in the first few hours/days, but it gets better.They take ages before they sound even a bit dead.Great value for money. For a touring, gigging musician they're a great choice

Love the mids and highs that were missing on my old (ancient) set of same brand strings. My open A just sounded so dead and sad I had to get new strings.These strings last a long time, I get years out of them so they are well worth it.

May be more expensive but they last ages.I usually change strings every 4-5 months but these have been on since last Christmas and I've just changed them and they still had a bit of life left in them.

I was sceptical about Elixir bass strings for years. Read many reviews saying they aren't bright. Well, they are! Very bright and stay that way for ages. I find regular strings lose that initial zing that I love after one sweaty gig. 7 sweaty gigs later and the Elixir sound as good as the day I put them on. I can't recommend these enough!

Dudé en comprarlas por el precio, pero me las recomendaron para una grabación y la verdad valen cada centavo, dan un muy buen sonido. Súper calidad

I’ve been using elixir strings since 2011 and never had an issue. This 4 string pack arrived and felt different after a week of use they were completely rusted compared the B string that I got from a different seller.Beware! This seller is selling regular strings priced as Elixir or this one one bad set with a factory and the customer service is so bad that they haven’t responded to multiple messages.Find another seller to deal with!
