MarkbassContra Series Nylon Flat Wound Nyloncore Double Bass Strings 3/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Markbass Contra Series strings are flatwound nyloncore strings for 3/4 double bass, hand-wound with selected silver alloy wire over a multi-filament nylon core. They are designed to bring the tone and feel close to gut strings while retaining sound projection and support. The set is expressly suited to plucked playing and also works well with a bow, making it a practical choice when a bass part moves between pizzicato and arco approaches.

Who this is for
- 3/4 double bass parts that alternate between plucked passages and bow work.
- Players seeking gut-like tone and feel with sound projection and support.
