Bass Strings

Nickel Plated Steel and Stainless Steel electric bass strings offer players different tone options. Both string types are popular and, therefore, selecting the right strings is a matter of personal preference. Here's what we can tell you:

Nickel Plated Steel Bass Strings deliver a rich rounded tone with greater clarity and heavier mid-range presence.

Stainless Steel Bass Strings combine concentrated growling mids with an articulate pop and punch.

Our entire range of round-wound bass strings feature NANOWEB® Coating designed specifically for bass raising the bar for bass performance.

Our entire line of bass guitar strings is round wound. These are the go-to for many bass players because of their rich, round tone. With uncoated round wound strings, dirt and debris can collect between the windings, ultimately killing their tone.  

Elixir Strings are different. Our strings are protected with a proprietary featherweight coating that acts as a barrier. Not only is the outer string surface protected, but more importantly, the gaps between the windings are too. Blocking gunk and corrosion from building up. As a result, according to players, Elixir Strings retain their tone longer than any other brand's coated or uncoated string.
