Elixir Nanowebs

[BassistForJesus]

If you want bright, 6 months-12 months of string life, I cannot think of another manufacture that comes close to the Elixir Nanoweb.

So far so good!

 

[Root 5]

Yep, they're good strings! I also really like their acoustic guitar strings.

 

[59jazz]

Put a set on my 55-02 last month. I really like these strings! Sounds great through my Avalon U5/FOH/iem's. Brings a smile to my face.

Tried another brand for fun. Elixirs will be the only brand I buy from here on out

 

[el murdoque]

Same here. I don't like the twangy sound of really fresh strings and elixirs don't sound so bright from the beginning. I've played Fenders, D'addarios, Earny Balls and Warwicks ... my fretless still has Fender tapewounds, all my other basses are strung with elixirs.

I've had the Nano's on my SR505 for about a year now and they're about due for a change. Yep, I'd say I got my money's worth from them!

 

[SirMjac28]

I'll have to check these out

I never liked coated strings, but my only experience with them is DR black beauties. Are these drastically different? The DR's felt sticky and burned my fingers from sliding up and down the neck.

I have Elixirs on my fretless and they don't feel anything like your description of the DR's. The nanoweb coating feels really slick to me, in fact some people find it too slippery but not me, it's just the kind of feel I want for fretless.

In fact, they seem more gentle on the fingerboard too, so they're just about the perfect fretless string for me.

I prefer a brighter sound on my fretted basses so I might try some of their 'new' stainless sets since the Pro-Steels that I have on my sixer seem just about dead

If you purchase Elixir Nanowebs you will never be satisfied with any other strings. I guarantee it!

I don't like them, what do I get???

 

[Wesley R]

I have always detested round wounds. My girlfrien recently bought me an Ibanez SR500PB that came with Elixers (I would assume nano-web), and I found them to be pretty decent.

 

[73jbass]

Been using them since 2007. Don't use anything else. Every bass I own has them except one,which is strung with flats.

 

[RDUB]

Been using them for some time as well. No stick to the fingers - quite the opposite. With a new set my fingers almost slide off. As they age, to my ears, they lose a little bit of the middle, rather than the brights like most strings.

Very smooth sounding strings. Not as clanky as roto rooters, for example. Not quite as harsh a sound as the D'Adarrios that came with my Roscoe.

More than the long life is the consistent sound throughout their life and the feel on your fingers, though I guess this is more a personal choice

 

[Solarmist]

They come stock on Ibanez, and are beautiful sounding strings. They last about 50% longer than non-coated rounds. I've got some on my SR5 that are about 5 months used, and still sounding good.

 

[BassistForJesus]

Just put some on my new DJ5 and boy is the sound amazing. Hefty price but when you do price divided by length of life, it comes out to price of other well known brands or surpasses.

 

[war_wick]

Elixir of life! Nothing else for me

 

[Fenwick]

Nanowebs are a superior product in all respects. Hard to find anything else satisfactory after them.
