Pirastro Bass Strings:
Pirastro is still the leader in offering the most variety of strings
for the upright bass. While they really tend to be more geared
towards the classical upright bass player, their Evah Pirazzi bass strings are getting more and more respect
from the jazz side, though the 'Evah's' are meant as a bowed string.
We sell almost all of what Pirastro has to offer for the upright
bass. Just click the Pirastro bass strings link here or at the chart in the lower
part of this page.
Thomastik Upright Bass Strings:
The Thomastik brands are really more famous for their Sprirocore
strings. These have a stiff core, and allow more sustain and punch
for plucking on the bass. If you are new to buying upright
bass strings, then you might also want to take a look at our double bass strings page where we describe some more subtle
differences in strings.
Helicore Bass Strings:
Helicore bass strings, made by the D'Addario company (USA) are
a decent brand of bass string that are cheaper than the European
brands. We sell only their Helicore brand (Helicore orchestra
and Hybrid). Recently, we added the new Zyex medium
and light gauge strings.
Innovation Bass Strings:
We offer the Super Slaps and Super Silver. These are both
popular with Bluegrass and Rockabilly players. They are a
loose, low tension string meant more for right hand plucking than
bowing.
Velvet Upright Bass Strings:
We like to offer the more popular Velvet strings:
Compass Blue (or just called "Blues"), Anima and Garbo
and now, Garbo Light gauge. We
also offer the low E's (used for C extension).
Jargar Bass Strings:
Jargar bass strings are well made and more towards classical type
playing. While we are now offering them in the medium gauge, we'll
soon have light and heavy gauge.
