Description

Helicore Orchestral bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a warm tone quality with excellent bow response. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is optimized for arco use, but they also work well for pizzicato applications where a very warm, less-sustaining sound is desired. The 1/10 scale strings are gauged specifically for 1/10 size bass with a playing length of 28 inches (710mm).

Great Strings!
Size: Full Set Style: Light Tension
I love these strings for my eminence upright bass! As I get older medium to heavy gauge strings are too hard on my hands so I switched over to these and wow what a difference! I really enjoy these and will continue to use them! I love the more bright sound on the G string as well as low E when plugging in. The value is great for what you are getting for steel strings. I’ve used one set for 2 years and the durability really holds up. I love the feel and flexibility as well. ... show more

Very Cool!
Size: Full Set Style: Light Tension
I was pleasantly surprised by this set of D'Addario Helicore Bass Strings. Deep & dark, a warm tone over all...sound reminiscent of gut. I wish they were "just a little brighter" however they are perfect for what I need them for. Easy to play and VERY BALANCED. I will be buying this set again :)

Great For Everything !
Size: Full Set Style: Light Tension
I play pizzicato and with a bow every time I play out. I can play all styles of Music with these Strings like Folk, Jazz, Blues, and Classical. The recording engineer during my last recording session couldn't get over how rich and deep my bass tone was. This was coming from a Nashville recording engineer! I love these strings! ... show more

smooth and sweet sounding, if not the loudest
Size: Full Set Style: Light Tension
Not quite as loud as the one's I'd had before, but they sound great and the smooth surface is so much easier on my fingers!
