Elixir Strings 14677 .045-.105 Stainless Steel Electric Bass Strings with NANOWEB Technology

Electric bass strings with NANOWEB® coating for longest-lasting tone

Play longer without compromising tone or feel. Elixir protects the whole string—not only the outer surface but also the gaps between windings where dirt, sweat, and grime build up and kill tone. Elixir strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than other brands, offering a balanced sound with deep lows and a smooth feel thanks to NANOWEB® Technology.

Key Features

• Stainless-steel wrap wire for a bright and deep tone.
• Ultra-thin NANOWEB® coating preserves natural feel and extends life.
• Smooth, natural feel with improved grip.
• Optimized tension profiles for excellent response even under heavy attack.
• Perfect for players seeking long-lasting tone and low maintenance.
