Bass strings that stay bright and punchy for much longer. This is the Elixir 14052 4-string Light (.045-.100) set of electric bass strings: nickel-plated steel wrap wire with Elixir’s NANOWEB coating, made for long-scale basses. The coating covers the whole string, so sweat and dirt cannot build up between the windings and kill the tone.
Why customers choose it
- Tone that lasts: Elixir says its strings keep their out-of-the-box tone longer than other brands’ strings – fewer string changes.
- The sound: nickel-plated steel gives a rich, rounded tone with clarity and a heavy mid-range presence.
- Feel: featherweight NANOWEB coating made specifically for bass keeps a smooth, natural feel and good grip.
- Built for real playing: optimised tension profile and flexibility, with durability and response even when you dig in hard.
Who it is for
Four-string bass players – from students to gigging and studio players – who want long string life, especially in humid weather or with sweaty hands.
