Description
Built for 5-string players who want stainless clarity without sacrificing string life, this Elixir set pairs a .045-.135 light/medium gauge with a long scale fit. The stainless steel construction pushes a crisp, bright edge on top while the low B and E strings retain plenty of low-end depth and punch.
Elixir developed the NANOWEB Coating for bass specifically after surveying thousands of bassists and running field trials with over 1,000 players. The result is a coating that wraps the entire string – not just the outer surface – sealing out grime, sweat, and debris that typically settle between the windings and kill tone over time.
What you’ll notice on the neck:
- Bright stainless steel voice with solid low-end presence
- Smooth, natural playing feel with improved grip and less finger squeak than earlier NANOWEB generations
- Tension profile and flexibility tuned for consistent response, even under aggressive playing
- Reliable tone from one gig to the next, reducing how often you need to restring
- Longer-lasting tone than typical uncoated or coated strings, according to Elixir’s own player surveys
Because the coating covers the whole string rather than just the windings, these strings sidestep the buildup that dulls tone and shortens lifespan in standard bass strings. For 5-string bassists who want fewer string changes without giving up brightness or feel, this set is a dependable choice.
