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. Additionally, the oil, sweat and dirt that accumulates between the windings inhibits the strings from vibrating, decreasing the intensity of the frequencies and dulling your sound. 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: playing.
