Description
String Central stocks the Elixir Nickel Plated Steel Bass Strings in Light gauge (45-100), built for long scale basses and coated with Elixir’s signature NANOWEB finish. This ultra-thin coating wraps the entire string, not just the outer surface, sealing out sweat, dirt, and grime that typically settle between the windings and dull your tone over time.
Tonally, these strings lean warm and rounded, with enough clarity and mid-range bite to cut through a mix without sounding harsh. Nickel plating gives them a smoother, more balanced voice than raw steel, while still holding up under aggressive playing.
What players notice first is the feel underhand: NANOWEB’s low-profile coating keeps the string surface smooth and natural, cutting down on the squeaky finger noise common with coated sets, so slides and position shifts stay quiet.
- Full, rounded tone with clear articulation and solid mid-range presence
- Smooth, low-friction feel with minimal finger squeak
- Built to withstand hard-hitting attack without losing response
- Longer-lasting tone than uncoated strings or other coated brands, thanks to full-string protection
Because Elixir coats the complete string rather than just the top layer, these sets keep performing consistently from one gig to the next, cutting down on how often you need to restring. For bassists who want dependable tone and feel without constant maintenance, this Light 45-100 long scale set is a solid, low-hassle choice.
