Prolong your tone with the same premium electric bass guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available.

Specially developed based on in-depth feedback from more than a thousand bass players just like you, Elixir Strings' tailor-made selection of bass strings proudly includes nickel-plated and stainless steel construction options, four- and five-string sets, and virtually every gauge range you could possibly need. All with their innovative string coating technology. And unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings.

Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?

Elixir Strings has re-invented the stainless steel bass string. Carefully designed to enhance everything you love about stainless steel and minimize everything you don’t (including its notoriously shrill sound), these electric bass guitar strings boast a bright, stainless tone with deep lows. Meanwhile, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating, redesigned specifically for bass guitars, allows a smooth, natural feel that also enhances grip and reduces finger squeak.

For a richer, more rounded bass tone, try their Nickel-Plated Steel Bass Strings with NANOWEB Coating.

Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.

    Strings feel wonderful to play, just my left hand was slipping off the strings periodically at first they were so smooth. But I'm new to the instrument and they forced my technique to improve. Very glad to have them.

  • These strings last forever!

    I love the tone and they last forever! Ive never had one break playing 100s of gigs per year. Broken tuning key?, yes but never a string. The only way to break one is to cut it with a snips :)

  • Great strings for a bass with awesome sound

    These strings seem to be close in size to what my Ibanez came with, but they play and sound much better. I'm glad I went with the stainless steel as they have nice lows. My fingers would ache after 20-30 minutes of playing with the old strings, but now with the Elixirs I can practice for hours. This has improved my Bass playing. They have great tone but I might try the mediums next time to feel and hear the difference. They were out of them when I ordered. I recommend these strings especially to beginners as they are easier to learn and play with.
