D'AddarioHelicore Hybrid Series Double Bass String Set 3/4 Size Light
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for 3/4-size double bass in a light gauge, this Helicore Hybrid set uses multi-stranded steel cores for a moderately warm voice and an easy left-hand feel. Its damping design is intended to keep pizzicato notes sustaining while remaining responsive under the bow. That makes the set a practical choice for players moving between bowed and plucked work across symphonic, jazz, and bluegrass settings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between pizzicato lines and bowed passages in symphonic, jazz, or bluegrass performance.
- Outfitting a 3/4-size double bass with a light-gauge Helicore Hybrid set.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bassists who need strings specified for an instrument size other than 3/4.
- Players seeking a gauge other than light.
