This is a set of Elixir Nanoweb-coated bass guitar strings; the original and most-popular strings coating for extended tone life and smooth feel. Elixir’s Nanoweb coating is still the leading guitar and bass strings coating. You can feel this coating and it’s loved by many players.
This stainless steel sets provides bright, tight, and punchy bass tone with a little grit. The Nanoweb coating is tonally transparent but adds a smooth, polished feel and reduces finger noise.
Elixir’s flagship coating seals the entire string inside an impermeable barrier which keeps outs all moisture, oils, and dirt - the stuff that usually kills strings. This means the strings can last up to 3x longer - well, that’s the official line, however we have evidence of Elixir strings lasting well over a year! After substantial playing, and towards the end of their stated life you may start to see some fraying of the coating around the high-impact areas (picking position) but that’s pretty much cosmetic and the strings will keep going, and going, and going… !
NB. If you have a bass hanging on the wall that you only play occasionally, a set of coated strings is the perfect choice for it. They’ll last through the environmental changes in the room over time and be ready to play whenever you feel like it!
SKU: E14702
We insist that players use the measurement of ball-end (anchor) to top nut of their current set of strings. This measurement is more accurate than scale length as it takes into account through-body stringing, and more complex or alternative bridges. In many cases the set of strings required will be longer than the bass’s stated scale length! Use these references:
If ball-end-to-nut length is:
Up to 32” choose Short Scale
32”-34” choose Medium Scale
34”-36” choose Long Scale
36”-38” choose Extra/Super Long Scale
If you have a bass where you cannot see the ball-end i.e. a thru-body bass, you will have to measure your string once it has been removed. Before removing the string be sure to make a mark on the string with a permanent marker just behind the nut so you know where to measure to. Then once you’ve taken it off the bass, you can measure from the ball-end to the mark you made on the string.
