Innovation upright bass strings

Innovation strings are made out of synthetic (not gut) properties and are popular with the bluegrass and rockabilly players because they are affordable. The strings are made in England and are good strings for rockabilly and the low tension type of playing for folk and bluegrass.  We've recently added most of all that Innovation offers for the upright bass. Heriba Bass String Winder  On whole set orders, get free shipping and a new Heriba bass string winder ($7.50 value) included free.

Our special 'Special' on Innovation Bass Strings: Free $10 String Emporium Gift Certificate included with FREE shipping AND a new Heriba String winder

On select orders of Innovation Bass SETS, we enclose a $10.00 Gift Certificate coupon for anything that is offered at the String Emporium.  This is pretty exciting!  Here are some of the simple rules and restrictions:

  • The only restriction for anyone using the Gift Certificate is that customers cannot immediately apply the $10 on that same set of strings. 
  • You have the option of having us ship the certificate to you with your new strings to then save the Certificate  for whenever your next purchase should be.  This way you can hold on to that certificate and when you are ready, just call us to redeem it. (Someday, we'll figure out how to do this electronically on the internet, but for now, it's done over the phone.)
  • Again, we are your one stop shop for all your upright bass needs.  You can  use your $10 Gift Certificate towards anything that we sell both at the time of purchase or at any later date. There is no expiration date.

More about Innovation Bass Strings

Super Silver and Silver Slap...are both clear wrapped nylon over a nylon braided core and look pretty much similar, but the Silver Slap is a slightly lighter gauge and tension than the Super Silver. For the lowest tension strings, the Rockabilly player will tend to choose the lighter, Silver Slap. Bluegrass players tend like the Super Silvers too.   Click here for our pop up window that shows what the various Innovation bass strings look like.

Psycho Slaps

The new Psycho Slap bass strings are really made and engineered for a looser tension allowing the player to 'get under' the string quicker.  Slap style playing (snapping and pulling up on the string off the fingerboard) is easiest with the loosest strings.  (i.e. the Psycho Slaps)

While Innovation strings are primarily focused on slap style Rockabilly playing, some alternative string brands also make great gut core slap style strings: See Lenzner or the Red Diamond brands that we offer.  The Lenzners A,D and G's are offered in pure gut.  While the Red Diamond D and G strings are gut core wrapped in nylon.  Each company has something unique.
