Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over 40 years, and they deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play. Nanoweb coating permits strings with the feel, bright tone, and punch of traditional strings.

Elixir Heavey Electric Bass Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!

Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great 3 to 5 times longer than ordinary strings.

The Best Strings

I own a Schecter Studio 5 and I use these on my bass. It is the best strings I have found yet. They're great for Warm Finger Playing or High End Slapping. Whatever your style, these are good for you.

you manage to shred the nanowebbing. I bought a schecter five-string bass over a year ago, and it came with these strings on it. They're amazing and until about a week ago still looked and felt brand new. When I play, I usually use a pick, and that's how I tore up then nanowebing on the B and E strings. Still, they play like new, they're just a little fuzzy lookin! hahaha! I'm going to replace them though, so that I don't have to worry about having rusty, grimey strings. I highly recommend elixer strings, and myself will probably never use any other brand.

best strings ever
Posted by Anonymous Musician from Jeffersonville, KY on Dec 12, 2006

I bought these strings 2 years ago because I was told these are the best for tone and brightness, not to mention the amazing life these have. I have not changed them yet, it has been 2 years and they still play very very good. It took over a year for them to even lose any tone whatsoever, and even today they sound better than most strings brand new! they still have sustain and everything. this is the best investment a bass player can make. most strings get old and feel rubbery after only a month or two, these strings retain their new feel for two years. these are definately the best strings ever. so what if they cost a little more than the rest, look how long they last, you actually save a whole lot of money on these strings. no matter what bass I play on, I make sure they have elixir strings on them. once you play these strings, you realize how bad the rest of the strings are.

More than just a string

I put these strings on my bass about 3 months ago, and from day one they still have the same amazing tone. They have great highs, mids, and lows. I cannot see myself playing with anyother brand of strings. Elixirs are a must for all serious bass players.

Truly Converted
Posted by Groove - Bassist for The ImanI Experience from Grand Junction,CO on Oct 20, 2005

Reviewer's Background: impresario/musician
Reviewer's Play Style: Progressive/Alternative Rock
I have been writing/playing/performing for 25 years, I was put on to these strings just over 3 years ago and will not string my basses with anything else. Superb product, shame they weren't around 25 years ago. Incredible sustain with amazing tone, has certainly enriched my playing experience. I recommend this product to any and all bass players. Dynamite.
