    Double Bass Low Tension, smaller gauge string

    Hey hive mind! I recently got some EP Slaps (all synthetic). I love how easy they are to play but am hoping to find a string that combines their low tension playability with: more sustain, a smaller gauge and a more descriptive low end (less muddy). I play about 50/50 pizz & arco. Are Spiro...

    Double Bass My transition away from jazz bass

    I got my start on bass as an electric bassist motivated mostly by Motown and 70’s jazz funk stuff. Growing up in the 80s, I distinctly remember the first time I heard “Another One Bites The Dust” and how drawn I was by the relationship between the bass and the drums. The Police were also an...

    Double Bass Do you have a pizz and an arco bass?

    I have a nice 2011 carved Stoll Milano bass that bows great but I’m starting to think I’d like another instrument with guts for busking and jazz sessions where I’m not going to be using the bow. Ideally I’d have one instrument that does both well, but I hear guys with guts on cheaper instruments...

    Double Bass Recommend Strings for a Bluegrass Noob

    I just started on the double bass about 6 months ago, after playing bass guitar for about 20 years. I'm not a pro BG player by any stretch, but I'm solid and I keep good time. Double bass is definitely a struggle, but it's been really fun to learn. I recently bought a 1939 American Standard...

    Double Bass My New (Old) Velvet Anima’s

    There seems to be some sort of folklorish aura surrounding Velvet strings. So, I saw some lightly used Anima’s on Reverb for a good deal and swept them up on a whim. Anyone rocking these strings? For what styles? Likes and dislikes about them? TBH, I am a bit weary of installing them on my...

    For sale set D'Addario DA Pizzicato LIGHT Helicore

    set of Light Pizzicato strings. were on the bass for a few weeks for trial. Lots of life left. I was really blown away by how the sound just exploded from my bass. They respond fine with the bow- They sing pretty well. But won't blend well, so I pulled them.

    Double Bass Zyex/helicore hybrids vs evah weich vs belcanto vs flexocor deluxe

    First, for some background, I'm a student so I can't buy a bunch of strings to try them. I play mostly orchestral/arco soloing, but I also play in the jazz band. I previously had on a set of Kaplan(im not sure which gauge) and I recently got a set of zyex mediums. The Kaplans I had on previously...
