Elixir Strings, Electric Bass Guitar Strings, Nickel Plated Steel with NANOWEB Technology, Longest-Lasting Warm Tone with Comfortable Feel, 4-String Set, Long Scale, Medium 50-105

This is my second set since buying an additional bass guitar. I have tried many different brands of strings from the cheapest to the most expensive and these are absolutley the best for a few reasons. They are very smooth and easy to play, even better than my $65 Rotosound flat wounds. The only strings I've found that come close to these are the DR strings. The Rotosound 77s came highly recommended but sound flat and dead also requiring high gain. These Elixirs sound fantastic with the perfect growl and exceptional sustain. Because of the Nanoweb technology, you should never use a cleaner on them, just wipe them down with a microfiber cloth and you're good to go. The last set I bought are still on one of my basses and sound great after about 2 years. I will likely never change these strings unless I need to because of a break or whatever. I spent a lot of money trying different strings and these are my go to from now on. They are worth every penny and you won't be dissappointed.

I have been playing Elixir bass strings for well over 16+ years on my 5 string MusicMan and now my 4 string P-Bass. I play a lot of hours, and these don't hurt my hands. They last a long time and sound great! I perform twice a week.

I’ve been playing for 50 years, and I’ve tried all the usual suspects in bass strings, but once I got my hands on Elixirs, there was no turning back, because there is literally nothing on the market quite like them. Easy on the fingers, buttery smooth and easy to play, long lasting, and consistent quality from set to set. I prefer the 45-105 (45-130 for my 5-string) nickel plated, although you can get the stainless ones if you want a brighter sound. I use them on all five the basses I use regularly (Sire V10dx, Rickenbacker 4003, Yamaha TRBX605FM 5-string, Fender MIM Deluxe Precision P/J and my 1983 Guild Pilot. I play out pretty much every week, and get great tone and life out of these strings, often going 4-6 months before I change them out. They are so playable, they actually help my play faster and more precisely, across a wide variety of music. If they aren’t using them, I tell my fellow bass players all the time: try them! I wish everything we bought was of this high, consistent quality. If you are a gigging bass player and you’re serious about your gear, they are WELL WORTH the expense. Very highly recommended.

Sound very good and last for long time

I’ve been playing bass for a really long time and I can honestly tell you three main reasons why I continue to buy elixir strings over many years, and counting.. 1-They last forever. They really do. From sweat, dirt, and whatever else ends up on the strings they maintain a consistent tone and feel. For a test, I’ve had a set on a particular favorite bass I use and played multiple performances over summertime, both outdoor and indoor and they still didn’t need to be changed for almost 6 months. 2 - They have a great tone. I specifically use them on jazz, Pj, and humbucker driven basses and the tone is smooth with the appropriate bite and kick, when needed, be it driving, slap, or light touch. I especially like them on Jazz bass pick up configurations. 3- They feel smooth. It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but when you play exacting bass lines for long periods, I feel my finger tips aren’t as fatigued or worn out compared to non-coated strings. Don’t get me wrong: non-coated rounds are awesome but elixirs are the perfect balance of string choice for me, all things considered.

great strings... sound good & long lasting

As soon as I got these strings, I put them on my Breedlove acoustic bass. Once plugged in, I was sooo full of joy. This is the mellow tone I’ve been looking for. I play in a church setting a lot, and these are perfect. If you are looking for punch and growl, these are not for you.

Anyone recording / chasing tone... maybe they have a point. These strings aren't as bright as new ones. They sound like strings that have been broken in a bit, but that's not a bad thing... But for the 98% of us that are bedroom players, these are perfect. Especially if you have corrosive sweat, elixirs will save you the hassle of constantly replacing strings. For me, without elixirs I typically have to replace the strings every 4-8 hrs before they get completely wrecked. With elixirs, I use them 300-400 hours, and only change because they will sometimes start to "peel" where you pluck the strings. They still sound OK though. I've also had plenty of elixirs I've let "sit" on an instrument for a year or two, picked them up later, still in tune, no rust or noticeable issues, and still SOUND OK!

Für mich die Nummer eins bei Gitarren oder Basssaiten

Nikel siparişim çelik ve 5 tel olarak geldi. Ürün kutusu yıpranmış ve ıslanmıştı. Orjinal olduğundan şüpheliyim. Bu sebeple iade ettim.

Cordas excelentes! O timbre permanece brilhante e consistente por vários meses. Nas primeiras semanas, aparecem algumas manchas visíveis, mas isso não afeta em nada o som. Ideais para quem gosta de slap: oferecem agudos potentes junto com graves profundos. Já para estilos como reggae, onde agudos excessivos não são necessários, talvez outras marcas sejam mais adequadas. Recomendo muito!

ゴールドでした。音も良い！

High quality strings meant only for pros, it lasts as much as 3 times longer than normal nickel strings. Indeed value for money.
