These Elixir round-wound electric bass guitar strings are crafted with nickel-plated steel wrap wire. They deliver a rich, rounded tone with outstanding clarity and a strong mid-range. The NANOWEB Coating offers a smooth, natural feel, enhances grip, and significantly reduces finger squeak. Elixir coats the entire string, protecting not only the outer surface but also the gaps between windings where tone-deadening gunk often accumulates in other strings. Features include gauges of .045, .065, .085, .105, .135 in light/medium, long scale, a rich and clear tone, a smooth feel with less finger squeak, high durability and great response even in hard playing, and a longer tone life than other coated or uncoated bass strings.
Using these Elixir bass strings is straightforward. Just install them on your 5-string long scale electric bass guitar as you normally would. When playing, you'll notice the smooth feel and reduced finger squeak right away, which makes your playing more enjoyable. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the NANOWEB coating in good condition and extend the tone life of the strings. Avoid exposing the strings to extreme humidity or temperature, as this can affect their performance. If you play aggressively, these strings are built to handle it, but still give them a little extra care to ensure they last as long as possible.
