In this Coated Bass Strings category you will find sets of bass strings that have a special coating on them, which will help to increase the longevity of the strings and reduce corrosion or other forms of degradation, which is bound to happen when you're rocking out in a sweaty environment. This type of steel string, Nickel plated or Stainless, is typically favoured by players who want a more consistent feel and sound from their instrument, even as the strings age.
