D'Addario Helicore Pizzicato Bass String Set, 3/4 Scale, Medium Tension

D'Addario Helicore Pizzicato Bass String Set, 3/4 Scale, Medium Tension Review



D'Addario Helicore Pizzicato Bass String Set, 3/4 Scale, Medium Tension Feature

  • 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm)
  • Medium tension
  • Stranded steel core provides optimum playability and produces a clear, warm tone
  • Damping is reduced to create maximum sustain and "growl" for pizzicato
  • All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry
Helicore Orchestral bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a warm tone quality with excellent bow response. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is optimized for arco use, but they also work well for pizzicato applications where a very warm, less-sustaining sound is desired. Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), heavy tension strings will allow for greater projection and volume potential. The H615 Low-C (extended E) string is only available as a single string and is not part of the H610 set.
