Description

ACOUSTIC BASS STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with what experienced players worldwide say are the best bass guitar strings on the market. Elixir Strings protects the whole string - not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up killing your tone. Elixir Strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand’s strings.

  • Acoustic bass round wound guitar strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire
  • Played for a fresh evolution of tone that’s bright (but not shrill) with deep lows
  • Smooth, natural feel from our featherweight NANOWEB® Technology made specifically for bass guitars enhances playability, grip and reduces finger squeak
  • Optimized string tension profiles, flexibility and feel, and greater durability and response even during hard-hitting attacks enhances playing experience
