Innovation Strings 140H (honey)

Innovation Upright Bass Strings
Set 140H (Honey)

Full set used about a month. They have a huge sound - full, warm, and punchy.

Asking $125 (shipping included)

Here is the blurb from Lemur Bass (They sell for $158):

The two main sets '140H' and '140B' give 'Gut' quality with the reliability and long life of metal cored strings and will enhance any double bass. Your initial impression on playing either set will be the ease of sound production and articulation both for pizzicato and arco.These qualities, when using set '140B' are particularly beneficial on older instruments that began life fitted with gut strings and will now benefit from the 'Greater Gut' quality of this set.
Whilst both of our sets are suitable for jazz and orchestral playing, as a guide when choosing your first set of INNOVATION we would suggest the '140H' for jazz and the '140B' for orchestral playing, the '140H' having the brighter sound.

Please let me know if you have any questions...

the strings are a nice mix of gut and steel. So not tight like steel, but has a little give like gut. They bow well and have punchy quick response.

I'm interested in trying these out, but can't justify ANOTHER set of strings...

Interested in any trades?
