Customer reviews about Elixir 14677 Stainless Steel L/M Bass

Different but great

ProgBass 14.02.2014

Yet so far I did not decide to spend that much money on a set of new bass strings.
As I realized that my Rotosound Swing Bass Set lasts shorter and shorter with its freshness and the costs exceeded I decided to buy the Elixir Stainless Steel set for my Jazz Bass. When you take the string out of the paper you realize at first that they feel very comfortable and not that sharp as many others of this category do. Strung up the instrument had to be adjusted. These strings are harder to pull than others I tried before. So when you decide to play them be aware to take some time to get common with the strength, even if my Roto set was a 105, too. Once getting comfortable with it you will love it! Because of the Nanoweb layer they may not sound that sharp as a new set of Rotosound strings but also not that flat as when the Rotos are played. All in all a very great set of strings which someone should try who wants to have some which last longer and sound fresh.

Ok, they cost more, but they last 5 times or more as long

LoCol 15.11.2017

The real benefit in these strings is just how much abuse they take and still sound bright months later. I used to play cheaper strings in the c.¤20-25 range but I found that these lost their brightness after 2 months versus the Elixirs which could last 6 months or more without costs 3 times the price. I wouldn't buy any other strings now.

My Go-to!

RickyTixx 29.03.2022

Slap and tone on my mid-range bass is great. The strings stay clean for a super long time, only need to change twice a year. (the bass is used in the studio once a week) My go-to, would recommend to a friend

Perfect

Alexale 22.01.2019

After one year of active use, the sound is very good and clear, just couple of dark spots on the strings and coating is torn where fingers are plucking, but that should be expected after one year of use.
I'm just thrilled to have this strings on my bass

I have to buy another set for test how long will perform good without cleaning the string..... :)

Tone that lasts

Saturo 02.10.2024

I got these for a bass I have set up for slap. They've been on for over a year and when I compare recent recordings to ones from a year ago I can hear the brightness has held up.

The coating already held up well when I first tried these strings over 20 years ago, but it appears to still be as good if not better considering they're enduring slapping vs fingerstyle

Best strings ever!!!

Leo_CRO 17.01.2020

If you need good, stable string with long last sound of new, buy it!
If you like muddy bass tone, don't buy them! :)

Smooth Stainless Steel

Christos Z. 29.05.2016

They don't sound and feel like the pure stainless still strings maybe due to the nanoweb coating, but it seems they last much much longer.
That "zing" sound from the pure stainless steel strings is still there but not so bright.
If you are tired of changing your stainless steel strings because they become horrible dead flat after 2 or 3 weeks, this is a good solution. Also the coating gives a nice and "slicky" feeling, good for slides.
