Elixir Strings Custom String Shop for Electric Bass Strings
Elixir Strings, the pioneer of long-life string technology, announced a whole new way to buy electric bass strings at Summer NAMM 2006. With its Custom String Shop for electric bass strings, players now have the freedom to customize five and six string sets and are no longer forced to buy preset string gauges. Players can now gauge unique or traditional string sets based on their specific gauge requirements.
By liberating its four string foundation sets from the fifth and sixth strings, Elixir Strings Custom String Shop now makes building a custom five or six string bass set easier than ever. All players need to do is select a four string foundation set and add unique single packaged custom low B and high C gauges or use color coded traditional gauges.
“Elixir Strings Custom String Shop is all about customization for bass players, so they can pick the gauges that they want,” says Craig Theorin, Product Manager, Elixir Strings. “Through player feedback we heard that there was a real longing for a greater selection of gauges. Many players can be particularly discerning when it comes to their Low B strings. The Custom String Shop allows players to tune in the optimal low B,” Theorin adds. “Now, bass players will no longer be stuck playing someone else’s idea of string gauges.”
In addition, Elixir Strings Custom String Shop gives retailers greater flexibility to economically stock a wide range of four, five and six string bass gauges thereby increasing the availability of a wide variety of string gauges for even the most discriminating players. And as the innovators of coated strings, Elixir Strings electric bass strings feature the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating that protects and preserves the strings’ great tone and feel.
Elixir Strings Custom String Shop for electric bass strings will offer four string foundation sets and single-packaged Low B and High C strings in Super Light, Light, Medium and Heavy gauges. MSRP for four string sets is $39.99, Low B fifth strings are $9.99 and High C sixth strings sets are $6.99.

Elixir Strings is the pioneer in coated string technology and strings are available in two ‘flavors.’ Strings with ultra-thin NANOWEB coating have the bright tone and punch of non-coated strings, yet keep their lively tone three to five times longer than ordinary strings. The thin coating is nearly undetectable – providing the feel of traditional strings. Elixir Strings with original POLYWEB Coating also sound great three to five times longer than ordinary strings, have a balanced tone with smooth response, feel comfortably smooth, and reduce finger squeak. Elixir Strings are available in a full range of gauges for acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, banjo, and mandolin.
