Long-lasting Bass Tone!
Take it from Sweetwater, Elixir’s Nanoweb Bass Strings are the perfect string for anyone who likes the punch of an uncoated string but the feel and long life of a coated one. By using their amazingly effective yet micro-thin Nanoweb™ coating, Elixir designed a bass string that delivers a great feel and an awesome sound. The Nanoweb Bass strings retain their powerful edge for much longer than traditional bass strings. Think about it, if you don’t have to buy strings as often, that means more money left over for other great gear. So, if you want the best of both worlds, pick up a set of Elixir Nanoweb Bass Strings today! But more important is the joy of knowing that your strings are always ready when you are.
Elixir Nanoweb Light/Medium Long Scale Electric Bass Guitar Strings Features:
- Nanoweb coating delivers punch while also having a great feel
- Extra-long life: a great choice for strings that’ll stick with you
- Smooth, expressive tone bassists love
Extended Life Never Sounded So Good
In addition to sounding great, Elixir's Nanoweb coating helps keep these electric guitar strings sounding fresh for much longer than traditional strings. The company's proprietary GORE-TEX coating protects the outer windings and inner gaps of every wound string to seal out corrosive sweat and environmental debris. The result? A set of strings Sweetwater guitarists choose time and time again for their crisp tone and lived-in feel. This coating even reduces excess friction for added comfort under the fingers. Fewer string changes mean having to buy strings less often. So, if you want to get the most out of your prized axe, grab a set of Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings.
How long do Elixir Nanoweb strings last?
The secret behind every long-lasting set of Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings is a thin GORE-TEX waterproof fluoropolymer membrane. This coating envelops the entirety of each wound string — even between the windings — to protect them from the corrosive chemicals in your hands while giving them a smooth feel, a natural sound, and extra-long string life. How long? It's not uncommon for casual players to go an entire year on a set of Nanowebs before noticing a degradation in tone or tuning integrity. Of course, your mileage will vary based on your performance schedule, practice routine, and personal pH balance.
How do Elixir Nanowebs stack up?
Thanks to a barely-there GORE-TEX coating, Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings sit happily between Polywebs and Optiwebs in terms of tone and feel. This gives them a bright tone and lived-in feel that will be quite familiar to players of traditional electric strings, all while dramatically extending the time between string changes.
Which Elixir strings are right for me?
Proper string gauge has a lot to do with your playing style and the scale length and setup of your guitar. That said, Elixir gives some general guidelines for choosing the perfect gauge for your needs:
- Lighter hand, lighter gauge: Fingerstylists may want to start with a smaller gauge, while heavy-handed pickers and palm muters may wish to opt for a heavier set.
- Smaller scale, heavier gauge: Short-scale electric guitars (less than 24.75 inches) often need heavier strings than their standard-scale counterparts.
- Vintage axe, vintage load: Light and standard string gauges are recommended for classic instruments. Heavier gauges may cause damage to the neck and bridge.
- Bulk up for dropped tunings: Down tunings and custom tunings may require heavier gauges to keep proper tension.
- It all comes down to taste: Guitarists of all genres have used light, heavy, and hybrid string sets throughout the ages. Experiment with multiple sets to find the perfect Elixir strings for your tastes.
