D'AddarioZyex Series Double Bass E String 4/4 Size Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This medium-gauge Zyex E string is the 4/4 version for double basses with longer overall string lengths; its playing and vibrating length remains the same. The synthetic core settles in within hours and is designed to stay stable through drastic climate changes. Expect the series’ warm, rich, gut-like complexity with power and clarity across pizzicato and bowing. It also works alongside 3/4-scale Zyex A, D, and G strings when that E-string length is needed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a 4/4 bass E string on an instrument with a longer overall string length.
- Combining a 4/4 Zyex E with 3/4-scale Zyex A, D, and G strings.
- Pizzicato and bowing work requiring attack, sustain, and responsive bowing.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a light-gauge E string.
- A 3/4-size E-string replacement.
