Elixir Stainless Steel Light Bass

These strings aren't as crisp as brand new strings from some other brands; but they last a hell of a lot longer than any other brand. And the stainless steels are still very bright! I'm used to changing strings every 2-3 months of regular playing because by then they are usually completely dead. However, these strings just go and go and keep their tone for longer than twice that period of time (using one
Set for around 6-7 months of very regular usage and still sounding pretty much as fresh as the day I bought them). And I don't see them dulling any time soon.

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.
