Elixir Nanoweb Stainless Steel Bass Strings - Light Medium Long Scale .045-.105 | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

Elixir Nanoweb Stainless Steel Electric Bass Strings in Light Medium deliver the punch and bite of an uncoated stainless steel string with the smooth feel and extended lifespan that only Elixir's Nanoweb coating provides. The micro-thin Nanoweb coating locks out the sweat and grime that kills tone in conventional bass strings, keeping your sound fresh and powerful for significantly longer between changes. This Light Medium set — gauged .045 on the G string through .105 on the low E — offers a versatile tension profile well-suited to players who want a lighter feel on the upper strings without sacrificing weight and authority in the low end.

Product Overview

Elixir's Nanoweb coating is applied over the outer winding of each string, forming an ultra-thin barrier that resists corrosion and contamination without adding the thickness or muffled feel associated with heavier coatings. The result is a string that plays and sounds natural from the first note, retaining the punchy, defined character of stainless steel long after an uncoated set would have gone dull and lifeless.

Stainless steel winding over a steel core produces a bright, articulate tone with strong upper-mid presence and a firm, focused low end — a character that helps bass lines cut through a full band mix with clarity and punch. The round wound construction delivers familiar texture and tactile response under the fingers, with rich harmonic content that translates well both live and in the studio.

The Light Medium gauge (.045, .065, .085, .105) provides a practical tension balance for players who want responsive, comfortable feel in the upper register while maintaining solid fundamental response and clear definition on the low E. This gauge is especially useful for players who move between fingerstyle and pick technique, or who need reliable performance across a wide dynamic range.

Ideal For

• Gigging bassists seeking coated stainless steel bass strings that maintain punch and brightness through heavy use
• Players who want a light medium gauge bass string set with a heavier low E for added low-end authority
• Studio and touring musicians who need consistent tone and reliable performance without frequent restringing
• Bassists transitioning from uncoated strings who want extended string life without giving up the natural feel and punch of stainless steel
• Value-conscious players looking for the best long-lasting bass strings with a proven coating system

Key Features

Nanoweb Micro-Thin Coating

Elixir's Nanoweb coating sits over the outer winding as an ultra-thin film, blocking the dirt, sweat, and corrosion that accelerate tonal decay in uncoated strings. Unlike thicker coatings, Nanoweb preserves the natural resonance and tactile feel of the underlying stainless steel, so the strings feel broken in from day one without sacrificing brightness or punch.

Stainless Steel Winding

Stainless steel winding delivers a brighter, punchier tone than nickel-plated alternatives, with strong upper-mid presence and a firm, clear low end. The material's inherent corrosion resistance works in tandem with the Nanoweb coating for maximum string longevity.

Light Medium Gauge (.045–.105)

The Light Medium gauge offers a graduated tension profile — lighter and more responsive on the upper strings, with a heavier .105 low E that provides authoritative low-end response and clear fundamental definition. This balance suits players who want playability and power in the same set.

Long-Scale Construction

Cut for long-scale basses (34"), these strings ensure proper post winding, stable intonation across the full neck, and consistent tension performance on the vast majority of 4-string electric basses.

Round Wound Construction

The round wound exterior provides the classic electric bass feel and harmonic complexity players rely on, with a textured surface that gives fingerstyle players confident string contact and excellent dynamic control across all four strings.
