Description
If you’re tired of your bass sounding dull two weeks after stringing up, Elixir built these NPS strings with NANOWEB Coating to keep the low end alive far longer than a typical set. This .050-.105 medium-long scale set gives you that rounded, full-bodied thump with real mid-range bite cutting through the mix.
Elixir didn’t just guess at what bass players want — they pulled feedback from over 4,000 musicians and put 1,000+ players through field trials to dial in the feel of the coating. That work shows up in a set that plays smooth right out of the pack, with less finger squeak and a tension profile that feels natural under the hand instead of stiff or slick.
- Rounded, clear tone with solid mid-range punch
- Smooth feel, quieter finger movement, no scratchy squeak
- Holds up under hard slapping and aggressive attack without breaking down
- Outlasts uncoated and other coated strings for tone life, per Elixir’s own player surveys
The real advantage here is coverage — Elixir coats the entire string, not just the outer winding, sealing out sweat, oil, and grime that normally creeps into the gaps and kills your tone early. That means fewer string changes, more consistent sound from rehearsal to gig, and less cash spent replacing dead sets. For players who’d rather spend on picks and cables than constant restrings, this is the set that lets you skip a few changes without sacrificing feel.
