Color:3/4 Size Light 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.

The 1/8 scale strings are gauged specifically for 1/8 size bass with a playing length of 31 3/4 inches (805mm). From the Manufacturer Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), light tension strings allow for easier bow response.Helicore Pizzicato bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a brighter tone quality than the rest of the Helicore bass line.

  • Great sound
Color: 3/4 Size Medium
I spent a great deal of time researching what strings to get for my upright bass because they are not cheap. I finally settled on these and am glad I did. I play a wide range of styles, mostly pizzicato. I was a little reluctant going with straight pizz strings because I've been noodling with bowing on the side, too, but realized that 95% of the time I was going to be plucking and didn't want to go with a hybrid strings just for the occasional bowing attempts. However, I've found that these strings seem to sound fine bowed, as well, but may not be ideal for orchestra settings - I honestly couldn't say. But for bluegrass, jazz, etc. pizzicato playing, they sound really good to me! ... show more

  • I like them a lot
Color: 3/4 Size Medium
This is the first time using these strings after getting priced out of thomastik strings. I like them a lot. I use them for pizzicato only, and they respond very well.

  • Great strings
Color: 3/4 Size Medium
I've used these strings for over 5 years. Just found them available on Amazon. Great sound, long lasting. Mainly pizzicato playing, but have bowed as well. My luthier and I researched gut strings and all sorts of nylon combinations. These are by far the easiest to keep in tune with a fantastic tone and growl on the low end. Would recommend to any one. ... show more
