Elixir 14052 Electric Bass NPS Nanoweb Light 45-100 string set for electric bass guitar

General

Each of the four strings in this Elixir 14052 electric bass guitar string set features a special Nanoweb coating. This ultra-thin layer protects the strings from rust and dirt, enabling them to retain their clear sound up to 5 times longer than conventional bass strings. What's more, they have a longer lifespan and feel smoother as well. The Elixir 14502 Light strings have a gauge of .045 to .100 inches and are made of nickel-wound steel. They deliver a broad range of bass sounds that go from a deep, rich low to clear, punchy mids to sweet trebles. Whether you like to slap, finger-pick, or rock out with a pick, these Elixir strings will bring out the best in your bass!

Why choose Elixir electric bass strings?

Regular metal strings are subject to corrosion; the acid that's naturally present on your fingertips and the moisture in the environment speed up that process. Inevitably, oil, sweat, and dirt will eventually get in between the string windings, which hinders the string's ability to vibrate, resulting in a loss of intensity and a 'dead' tone.

Luckily, these Elixir strings have a thin protective fluoropolymer coating that forms a barrier between the string and the outside world. As a result, the strings retain their clarity for a much longer period of time, and they won't wear out as quickly as their uncoated counterparts. You'll waste a lot less time on the frustrating job of changing strings, which means you'll be able to spend more time doing what you love: making music.
