Elixir .130 El. Bass Single String

I'm not convinced by the Nano web coating on these strings. The last time I used the I found that it broke down and hung off the strings like loose snake shin. This caused buzzing when I played and they went into the dustbin long before I would have changed a normal set of strings. I was given a 4 string set of Elixirs and bought this one to try them again on my 5 string bass.No problems with the coating so far, but for me D'addarrio sound better

I tried many other strings for my bass. I received with most all of them a great sound for 1-2 weeks. After a month the sound was always dead. With elixir strings after a year the sound is still clear. It is maybe a little bit expensive, but compared to the lifetime it is worth to buy.
