If you play a 5-string electric bass and want strings that hold their tone well past the first few gigs, these are a solid go-to. The Elixir 14777 set uses stainless steel wrap wire with Elixir's NANOWEB coating — a combination that gives you a bright, articulate tone with deep lows while keeping gunk and corrosion out of the windings.
What makes Elixir's approach different is that the coating covers the whole string — not just the outer surface, but also the gaps between the windings where dirt and sweat typically kill tone on uncoated strings. The NANOWEB version for bass was redesigned specifically for the instrument, with optimized string tension profiles and a feel that's smooth without being slippery. This is a long scale set, designed for standard 34" scale basses.
