Need a single .130 Low B string without buying a whole set? The Elixir 15430 is a nickel-plated steel round wound bass string in a .130 gauge, long scale — purpose-built to serve as a Low B on 5- or 6-string basses, or to complete a custom BEAD-tuned setup on a 4-string. It comes with Elixir's NANOWEB coating, which is formulated specifically for bass guitar.
What sets these apart from standard coated strings is how the NANOWEB coating works. Rather than just coating the outer surface, it also protects the gaps between the windings — where dirt, sweat, and gunk typically build up over time. The result is a string that holds onto its tone noticeably longer than uncoated or surface-coated alternatives. The feel is smooth and natural, with reduced finger squeak during position shifts. The nickel-plated steel construction delivers a warm, rounded tone with clear midrange presence — a characteristic of the Nanoweb line compared to Elixir's brighter Polyweb and Optiweb options.
Product Features:
- Single .130 gauge nickel-plated steel round wound bass string
- Long scale length
- NANOWEB coating designed specifically for bass guitar
- Coating protects full string — outer surface and gaps between windings
- Smooth natural feel with reduced finger squeak
- Compatible with 4-, 5-, and 6-string electric bass guitars
