DR NEON Green Coated Bass Strings Short Scale vs Elixir Nanoweb Nickel Bass Strings

These are different tools, not close rivals. The DR NEON set is a short-scale 4-string set (32-inch winding, fits most 30-inch basses) built for stage presence: coated nickel roundwounds on round cores that glow under UV and black light. The Elixir Nanoweb set is a long-scale 34-inch set with a warm, rounded tone and the longest-lasting tone life in the business. Buy the DR if you play a short-scale bass and want the look; buy the Elixir if you play a standard long-scale bass and want strings that stay fresh for months. Owners of both praise the coating's longevity, but the DR's neon color is the whole point and the Elixir's is invisible.

• Choose the DR NEON if you play a 30-inch short-scale bass and want strings that light up under stage and UV lights.
• Choose the Elixir Nanoweb if you play a standard long-scale bass and want warm tone that stays consistent for months of playing.
