Description

ELECTRIC BASS STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with what experienced players worldwide say are the best bass guitar strings on the market. Elixir Strings protects the whole string - not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up killing your tone. Elixir Strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand’s strings.
  • Electric bass round wound guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire
  • Played for a rich, rounded tone with incredible clarity and a heavy mid-range presence
  • Smooth, natural feel from our featherweight NANOWEB® Technology made specifically for bass guitars enhances playability and grip
  • Optimized string tension profiles, flexibility and feel, and greater durability and response even during hard-hitting attacks enhances playing experience
