Description
If you’re tired of your low B going dull and flubby before the second set even starts, this is the fix. Elixir built this 5-string set (.045-.135, long scale) with stainless steel windings under a NANOWEB coating, chasing a sound that’s bright on top without losing punch or clarity down in the basement notes that 5-strings are all about.
What sets these apart isn’t just the tone — it’s how long that tone sticks around. Elixir talked to thousands of bassists and ran field trials with over 1,000 players to dial in the coating and tension feel specifically for bass. The payoff: strings that still feel and sound fresh well past when a normal set would already be sounding tired.
- Bright stainless steel tone with genuinely deep lows on the B string
- Coating covers the entire string, not just gaps between windings — no gunk buildup
- Smooth, natural feel under the fingers with better grip and less squeak
- Handles hard, aggressive playing without breaking down
- Same feel and tone gig after gig — no surprises when you plug in
- Longest tone life Elixir has tested, coated or uncoated
For players who’d rather spend money on new strings less often instead of constantly replacing dead ones, this set earns its keep fast. Light/medium gauge, long scale, built for 5-string basses that need low-end depth without sacrificing top-end sparkle.
