Working extensively with the world-wide bass community, Elixir asked over 4000 bassist what they needed in a bass string, and enlisted over 1000 players for real-world testing to assist with improving the playability and Elixir's proprietary NANOWEB Coating. Drawing inspiration from the testing phase, Elixir Strings entire catalog of round wound electric bass strings now boast a NANOWEB Coating, exclusively made for bass guitar.

With playing experience also enhanced by optimized string tension profiles, flexibility and feel, Elixir Stainless Steel Bass Strings deliver:

• Bright tone with deep lows
• Smooth, natural feel with enhanced grip, and reduced finger noise
• Greater durability and response, even with hard pick attack
• Consistent performance from gig-to-gig
• Longer tone life than any other bass string, uncoated or coated

The only string brand to protect the entire string, Elixir Strings use an ultra-thin coating to keep gunk out of the gaps between the windings, achieving consistent performance from gig-to-gig, and eliminating the inconvenience of frequent (and expensive!) string changes.
