Detail 01
3/4 size
The standard size for most adult uprights. Still worth measuring, since body size names differ between makers.

The String CentreRecital II Bass String Set 3/4 Size set
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A four-string set for 3/4 size double bass from The String Centre's Recital II line. Budget restringing for student and school uprights.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restringing a 3/4 upright, the common adult size
- School programs replacing worn strings across several basses
- Students who want a fresh set without a large outlay
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 1/2 or 1/4 size basses — the length is wrong
- Advanced players with a specific arco tone in mind
- Bass guitar, which takes completely different strings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Recital II line
The String Centre's entry tier. Built for durability and price rather than solo or orchestral refinement.
Detail 03
Full four-string set
Replacing all four keeps tension and response even instead of one bright string against three dead ones.
Detail 04
$49.99
Around $12 per string. Low enough that a school can restring a fleet of basses in one go.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your string length against the maker's chart, not just the body size.
- 02Replace one string at a time to keep the bridge and soundpost seated.
- 03Fresh strings stretch for a few days before they hold pitch.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my bass?
They fit a 3/4 size double bass, the most common adult size. Measure nut to bridge and check against your maker's chart if unsure.
02Are these for arco or pizzicato?
They are a general-purpose student set and work for both. Players focused on bowed orchestral tone usually move to a higher tier.
03How long do they last?
That depends on playing hours and hand chemistry. Students commonly get a year or more before tone flattens and response dulls.
04Do I need a luthier to install them?
Not necessarily, but if the bridge shifts or the soundpost falls, take it to a shop rather than resetting it yourself.
