Elixir Strings Nickel Plated Steel 5-String Bass Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Long Scale, Light (.045-.130)

I’ve been playing bass for a really long time and I can honestly tell you three main reasons why I continue to buy elixir strings over many years, and counting.. 1-They last forever. They really do. From sweat, dirt, and whatever else ends up on the strings they maintain a consistent tone and feel. For a test, I’ve had a set on a particular favorite bass I use and played multiple performances over summertime, both outdoor and indoor and they still didn’t need to be changed for almost 6 months. 2 - They have a great tone. I specifically use them on jazz, Pj, and humbucker driven basses and the tone is smooth with the appropriate bite and kick, when needed, be it driving, slap, or light touch. I especially like them on Jazz bass pick up configurations. 3- They feel smooth. It may not be everybody’s cup of tea, but when you play exacting bass lines for long periods, I feel my finger tips aren’t as fatigued or worn out compared to non-coated strings. Don’t get me wrong: non-coated rounds are awesome but elixirs are the perfect balance of string choice for me, all things considered.

La calidad es excelente, llegó bien empaquetado y dentro del plazo estimado.Sin duda, lo recomendaría a cualquiera que esté buscando algo similar. ¡Una muy buena inversión!

Son cuerdas de excelente calidad y el producto es original

I was skeptical because I've always bought ernie ball slinkys everytime I needed new strings. But I wasn't getting that musicman tone out of my stingray. So I bought these to shake things up a bit and let me tell you, it did not dissapoint.I can adjust my bass and treble knobs to play funk, rock, jazz, or pop. Anything! If you've been on the fence about trying some new or different strings I highly recommend these!

I got these for my boyfriend, he loved them!

Best bass strings for quality sound.. make anything sound good!!!

I’ve been playing for 50 years, and I’ve tried all the usual suspects in bass strings, but once I got my hands on Elixirs, there was no turning back, because there is literally nothing on the market quite like them. Easy on the fingers, buttery smooth and easy to play, long lasting, and consistent quality from set to set. I prefer the 45-105 (45-130 for my 5-string) nickel plated, although you can get the stainless ones if you want a brighter sound. I use them on all five the basses I use regularly (Sire V10dx, Rickenbacker 4003, Yamaha TRBX605FM 5-string, Fender MIM Deluxe Precision P/J and my 1983 Guild Pilot. I play out pretty much every week, and get great tone and life out of these strings, often going 4-6 months before I change them out. They are so playable, they actually help my play faster and more precisely, across a wide variety of music. If they aren’t using them, I tell my fellow bass players all the time: try them! I wish everything we bought was of this high, consistent quality. If you are a gigging bass player and you’re serious about your gear, they are WELL WORTH the expense. Very highly recommended.

As soon as I got these strings, I put them on my Breedlove acoustic bass. Once plugged in, I was sooo full of joy. This is the mellow tone I’ve been looking for. I play in a church setting a lot, and these are perfect. If you are looking for punch and growl, these are not for you.
