Product Description

Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response - they sound like strings that have been "played in". Nanoweb coated strings sound and feel like uncoated strings - they are bright and lively, and the coating is so micro thin that you can barely tell it's there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elixer bass strings, June 28, 2010

I have been playing bass forever and tried pretty much all the top brands. I use them on everything from my vintage Fenders to my upper end 5 str USA Tobias. Nothing else lasts nearly as long as the Elixers. They produce killer tone and they keep perfect tune. Another plus for me, particularly in the studio, is string noise is minimal from finger movement due to the coating. I have used several top name coated strings, which I will not mention the names, and they just do not measure up. So they may seem a little expensive but not really when you factor it all in. Plus they have the best sound for me. I play with a very busy regional band and gig 3 to 5 times a week. I don't work for or get any endorsements from Elixer (but I would be glad to send them several cds :)... so this is not an add. Just a review for the curious. Stay in the pocket, Ray.

I don't change my string enough. But when I do I use Elixir because it has a nicer feel on the fingers and lasts 3 to 4 times as long. This is the first set I have bought for bass as I usually need guitar strings. I recommend Elixir to all my musician friends.
