Description
Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), Helicore Orchestral bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a warm tone quality with excellent bow response. The groundbreaking core design produces strings that are very easy to play. Damping is optimized for arco use, but they also work well for pizzicato applications where a very warm, less-sustaining sound is desired.

Pros: Very nice. As a electric/acoustic doubler and a more pizzicato player, I liked the punch but they were very encouraging with the bow as well. Plus they are competitively priced....
Cons: Maybe they could be offered in different tensions. (They are)
