D'AddarioHP610 Helicore Pizzicato 3/4 Size Double Bass String Set 3/4 Size Heavy
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The HP610 is a heavy-tension Helicore Pizzicato string set for a 3/4-size double bass with a 41-3/4-inch playing length. Its multi-stranded steel core is designed to keep left-hand playing easy while producing a brighter tone than the rest of the Helicore bass range. Reduced damping is intended to bring out sustain and growl, so the set suits bassists shaping a pizzicato setup around those qualities.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Outfitting a 3/4-size double bass with a 41-3/4-inch playing length for pizzicato.
- Bassists who want heavy-tension strings with sustained notes and growl.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
