They might work better on other instruments, but I've only used Elixir nickels for my basses for as long as I can remember. Maybe steels would have suited some of the 30+ basses in that time, but I never tried! I also love that Elixirs last about a year...

You only get a year out of Elixirs? One of my Teles has Optiwebs that were fitted in 2018 and they’re still fine!

But yeah, Nanowebs on all my basses except the NG2 because they don’t make a set that fits.

You’re right, they can last longer. I sometimes change them thinking that they MUST be dead and I’m just not noticing it, only to realise they aren’t and I wasn’t! I was also worried they wouldn’t fit my mustang but snipped down they’re fine. Dunno what I’d do without them otherwise. Shame they haven’t come out with extended and shortened sets but I think Gore aren’t as agile as smaller manufacturers so it probably makes it harder to add additional lines to the range.
