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

Elixir Nanoweb Stainless Steel Electric Bass Strings deliver the punch and articulation of an uncoated string with the smooth feel and extended lifespan of a coated one. The proprietary micro-thin Nanoweb coating locks out the grime and corrosion that kills tone in traditional bass strings, keeping your low end sounding fresh and responsive for significantly longer. These are an excellent choice for gigging and rehearsing bassists who demand consistent tone night after night without frequent restringing.

Product Overview

Elixir's Nanoweb coating sets these strings apart from standard stainless steel bass strings. Rather than a thick outer wrap that muffles tone, the Nanoweb coating is so thin it preserves the natural brightness and punch of stainless steel while dramatically extending the string's usable life. The result is a set that plays and feels broken in from the start, without the dull, lifeless tone that typically follows after a few weeks on the instrument.

The stainless steel winding over a steel core produces a bright, punchy character with strong midrange presence and a firm, defined low end — qualities that cut through a full band mix whether you're playing live or tracking in the studio. The round winding delivers familiar texture under the fingers with excellent harmonic complexity across all four strings.

This set is gauged Light (.045–.100) on a long scale, making it a well-balanced choice for players who prefer a responsive feel with clear articulation. The lighter tension suits both fingerstyle technique and pick playing, with enough stiffness to maintain clean note definition in the lower registers.

Ideal For

• Gigging bassists seeking coated bass strings with long-lasting tone and reliable performance night after night
• Studio recording players who need consistent punch and brightness across multiple sessions without restringing
• Fingerstyle and pick bassists who want the bright, cutting character of stainless steel with a comfortable, smooth feel
• Budget-conscious players looking for the best long-life bass strings to reduce how often they restring
• Bassists transitioning from uncoated strings who want extended string life without sacrificing punch or articulation

Key Features

Nanoweb Micro-Thin Coating

Elixir's Nanoweb coating is applied over the outer winding, forming an ultra-thin barrier against sweat, dirt, and corrosion — the primary causes of premature tonal decay. Unlike thicker coatings, Nanoweb preserves the natural resonance and tactile feel of the underlying stainless steel winding.

Stainless Steel Winding

Stainless steel winding delivers a brighter, punchier tone compared to nickel-wound alternatives, with strong upper-mid presence that helps bass lines cut through dense mixes. The material also resists corrosion especially well, complementing the Nanoweb coating for maximum string longevity.

Long-Scale Length

Cut for long-scale basses (34"), these strings are compatible with the vast majority of electric bass guitars on the market, ensuring proper winding on the tuning posts and stable intonation across the full range of the neck.

Round Wound Construction

The round winding provides the classic electric bass feel and rich harmonic content that players expect, with a textured surface that gives fingerstyle players confident contact and excellent dynamic control.

Light Gauge (.045–.100)

This light gauge set balances playability and tone, offering comfortable tension for extended playing while maintaining solid note definition and punch in the lower strings.
