Description
D’Addario’s Helicore Hybrid set is scaled specifically for 3/4 size double bass, matching a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm). This medium tension configuration is the go-to choice for the majority of bassists, offering a tension profile that feels neither too stiff nor too slack under the hand.
At the heart of each string is a stranded steel core, chosen because it strikes a middle ground between playability and tone. The construction delivers a clear, warm sound while keeping response quick and consistent across the fingerboard – whether you’re plucking or drawing the bow.
