(More customer reviews)I never much liked Elixir strings until I tried a set of these Nanoweb strings on my fretless bass. I was looking for something that wouldn't chew up the soft rosewood fingerboard of my bass. Someone pointed out that the Elixir strings were coated to reduce friction and prolong the life of the strings, so I figured I would give them a try. I'd put the original Polyweb strings on my fretted basses before and didn't like them at all, but I figured the Nanoweb strings HAD to sound better than the black nylon flatwounds that I'd put on the fretless to begin with.
They DID sound better. Dramatically so. If I didn't know better, I'd say that the Elixir Nanowebs were standard roundwound strings, and had no coating on them at all. Of course, this might have to do with the fact that I put them on a fretless.
All I know is that these strings sound great on my fretless. Your results may vary on a fretted instrument, but if you're looking for strings that you can put on a fretless bass while still preserving that roundwound, Jaco Pastorius sound, while avoiding damaging your fingerboard, this is the obvious choice.

Product Description:
Elixir Strings revolutionized guitar strings by finding a way to extend the life of wound strings without compromising the tone. Polyweb coated strings have a balanced tone and smooth response - they sound like strings that have been "played in". Nanoweb coated strings sound and feel like uncoated strings - they are bright and lively, and the coating is so micro thin that you can barely tell it's there.
