Elixir 14202 Nickel-Plated Steel NANOWEB Bass Guitar Strings - 5-String Light (.045-.130)

The Elixir 14202 Nickel-Plated Steel Bass Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a rich, rounded bass tone with greater clarity and focused mid-range presence - all with the extended tone life that Elixir Strings are renowned for worldwide. In 5-String Light gauge (.045-.130) for 5-String Electric Bass Guitar, Long Scale, these strings are engineered for bass players who demand consistent performance from rehearsal and recording through extended touring schedules.

For bass players searching for the best coated bass strings for long-lasting tone, the 14202 stands apart because Elixir is the only brand that coats the entire string - including the inter-winding gaps where tone-killing corrosion and debris accumulate fastest on bass strings. The result is a set that retains its initial tone and feel far longer than any competing coated or uncoated bass string, meaning fewer string changes, lower long-term costs, and a bass that is always ready to perform.

The nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers a balanced tone with defined lows, articulate mids, and clear high-end response that cuts through any mix. Anti-Rust Plating on all plain steel strings ensures full-set tone consistency over time. Made in the USA and trusted by professional bass players worldwide, the 14202 provides the reliable, gig-ready performance that bass players need set after set.
