Review: Incomparable! - After trying several uncoated and coated strings (some VERY expensive) I bought these strings in July 2023. 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 bought another set, I may install it just for the sake, or maybe not! Great strings, perfect on my Status Graphite S2 Classic 5 Strings Headless Bass. Review: Awesome - Great strings. Bright tone. Good lifespan. ## Features - Electric bass guitar strings constructed with stainless steel wrap wire - Played for a fresh evolution of stainless tone that’s bright (but not shrill) with deep lows - Ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating, redesigned specifically for bass guitars, provides a smooth, natural feel that also enhances grip - Our patented coating technology protects against common corrosion, extending tone life longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings (Elixir Strings player survey) - Long Scale, Light/Medium gauge: .045 .065 .085 .105 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008DXCL3U | | Best Sellers Rank | 9,134 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 37 in Bass Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Made of stainless steel. | | Brand | Elixir | | Brand Name | Elixir | | Coating Description | Ultra-thin NANOWEB | | Coating description | Ultra-thin NANOWEB | | Colour | Silver | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,154 Reviews | | Finish Type | Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00733132146772 | | Included Components | 4 individual bass guitar strings | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Item Type Name | Strings for electric bass guitar | | Item Weight | 0.13 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | W.L.

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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51375113-strings-stainless-steel-4-string-bass-strings-w-nanoweb-coating](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51375113-strings-stainless-steel-4-string-bass-strings-w-nanoweb-coating) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
