Elixir Stainless Steel Bass Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a bright, cutting stainless-steel tone supported by deep, powerful lows. Designed through extensive collaboration with over 4,000 bass players worldwide—and refined through more than 1,000 field-test musicians—these strings offer improved playability, feel, and long-lasting performance specifically tailored for bass.

The updated NANOWEB coating, engineered exclusively for roundwound bass strings, protects the entire string from sweat, oils, and debris. This ensures a consistently vibrant tone, smoother feel, and longer-lasting clarity compared to both coated and uncoated alternatives. Enhanced flexibility and optimized tension profiles give these stainless steel strings a natural feel with improved grip and reduced finger noise, even during aggressive playing styles.
