It's December 2024 and I've not changed them yet. They still sound very good. I play a lot, so these strings staying crisp for this long is incredible.

I love the feel of these strings and only change out the set every three to four months or as needed. They give me the same sound as regular steel but with the tape wound feel. **Q: Anyone use these on a 35" scale jackson spectra js3v? i see a reviewer mentioning the low b was too short for their 35" bass.** A: I use on a Yamaha Nathan East BBNE2 long scale **Q: What is the difference in sound between the nickel & stainless steel?** A: Nickel strings have slight different feel than stainless and stainless seems to have a brighter tone. Just my opinion. **Q: Is the B string tapered?** A: No, if you are looking for a gradual tapered B the Labella I found to be great on my 6 string bass - so I bought another 6 string set (5ves were hard to find at the time) and put them on my 5. Perfect tension feel and very good sound. The elixirs are great on my Nathan East Yamaha BBNE2. Second in line are actually Ernie Ball strings! Nice mid and slightly easier on the fingers and frets! Hope this helps! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incomparable! *by T***A on 5 December 2024* After trying several uncoated and coated strings (some VERY expensive) I bought these strings in July 2023.

Good lifespan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bass strings on the market for a sharp tone. *by B***E on 24 January 2020* Really hold their sound for months, much better value than other brands I've tried. May be a little expensive but they allow me to buy strings less frequently. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elixir Bass Guitar Strings (14677) - Elixir Strings Nickel Plated Steel 4-String Bass Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Long Scale, Light/Medium (.045-.105) - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Rich and Full Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51375113-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51375113-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
