These Elixir electric bass guitar strings are round wound and made with nickel-plated steel wrap wire. They offer a rich, rounded tone with amazing clarity and a strong mid-range. The NANOWEB Coating gives a smooth, natural feel, improves grip, and cuts down on finger squeak. Elixir coats the entire string, protecting not just the outer surface but also the gaps between windings where tone-deadening dirt usually accumulates.

Using these Elixir bass strings is easy. Just install them on your 5-string bass guitar following the standard string - changing process. When you play, you'll notice the smooth feel and reduced finger squeak right away. As for maintenance, try to wipe the strings down with a clean cloth after each use. This helps remove sweat and dirt that can build up over time and affect the tone. Also, store your guitar in a dry place to prevent the strings from rusting. If you notice the tone starting to fade or the strings feeling rough, it might be time to replace them. Enjoy playing with these high - quality bass strings!
