Description
Chrome wound on spiral core. Various sizes Orchestra tuning as listed.
Spirocore strings have a flexible multiwire spiral rope core which results in a longer vibration period with reduced inertia. They are highly responsive and long lasting and are ideal for both pizzicato and bowing. Widely regarded as the reference standard in double bass strings.
Available in 3/4 scale (106cm) or 4/4 scale (110cm) . Please consult the options list for available scales and tensions (high tension no longer available for 3/4 scale).

Pros: I find this string, after about three weeks to be really opening up. I find I'm getting a good balanced sound with the other strings, and I'm confident to be playing and using up to C#. I think as I've bowed this string for about 1/2 the time it's has opened up well! I like the deep dark bass, which amplifies really well with an underfoot pickup. The arco is in my opinion exellant, and there is t a great difference in volume between pizz/arco. Loud, good growl and long sustain. A nice upgrade from my ancient superflex! I think I'd be pushed to find an E that would satisfy my need for a hybrid string that is 50/50 arco/pizz, 50/50 acoustic/amped!
Cons: A bit stiff to start. Thumb position not really an option. A bit wooly at first but is opening up after a good bit of bowing!
Other: I understand why there's a Spirocoe mega thread on talk bass!
