ARTISTS WHO USE ELIXIR STRINGS

John Paul Jones

Elixir Strings are great. I don't have to change the strings all the time and they still sound and feel fantastic.

Hadrien Feraud

I’ve been a proud Elixir user for over two decades. Their strings feel wonderfully smooth to the touch, yet solid and reliable at the same time. Most impressively, they last for months without losing their sustain or rich tone. Honestly, I don’t need — or want — anything else.

Ben McKee

Elixir Strings feel right from day one, and they stay right for days. I choose to take them on road because they last.

Michael Mondesir

I can safely say that Elixir Strings not only have the sound I love, but they're very consistent and last for ages!

Derek Jones

I love these strings! Elixir has been my go-to electric bass strings for over 20 years. I love the consistency of tone, their long life and feel.

Tiffany Lloyd

I love playing Elixir Bass Strings because the feel is completely unmatched and the tone is impeccable!

Samuel G Mpungu

Elixir Strings sound brilliant and never break. They give me the freedom to focus more on my music.
