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 retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand’s strings.

- 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

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE 80/20 BASS GUITAR STRINGS?
80/20 Bronze acoustic bass guitar strings offer a bright and focused tone. The 80/20 Bronze name is a misnomer in the music industry as the metal wrap wire composition is 80% copper and 20% zinc, which is brass. Bronze is technically an alloy of copper and tin.
