ÊÒ´ѺàºÔÅàºÊ Thomastik Spirocores medium long F# string (for D extensions)
Thomastik Belcanto
Thomastik has been making these "rope core" (a style of winding, not what they're made of!) strings for a couple of years, and I must say that we're pretty high on them right now - they’re on Bob's Kay, and he's really loving them for both pizz and arco. They’ve been designed for bowed work, but they have a very musical, warm pizz sound with a very sweet sustain. Their bowed feel and quick response is wonderful. Now they're available in a new (Sept '09) Solo Gauge!
String details from the manufacturer, Thomastik Infeld:
Core: specially twisted steel rope core; settles in quickly, intonates extremely well; exceptional tuning stability
Tone: dark and warm with excellent resonance; wide range of tone colors; easy to blend; pizzicato is open and free
Sound: outstanding projection with moderate effort; sustains better than most other arco (bowing) string brands
Playbility: quick response to the bow; soft under your fingers; fantanstic hybrid capability
Belcantos are for 3/4 size (and possibly some 7/8 or 4/4 depending on scale length) basses, with a scale length up to 110cm (43.3 inches). They have a steel rope core and are chromium wound.
Tension: G=28.25kg/62.2 lbs; D=27.75kg/63.3 lbs; A=29.25kg/64.4 lbs; E=28.75kg/63.3 lbs; Set=115kg/253.20 lbs. |

ÊÒ´ѺàºÔÅàºÊ Velvet ÃØè¹ Garbo for Jazz Bass Player Light (ªØ´)
Tension 23 Kg. per string
The Garbo gut string sound is unbeatable in volume and penetration. Garbo is the choice for the jazz bass players.
All Velvet silk, gut, or synthetic core strings are wound to minimize the irritating effects of hand perspiration on the core. The winding also provides tone and pitch stability, so it's possible to produce a balanced, solid sound with a clearly audible attack.
Velvet Garbo G string is wound with the finest polyamide, but can be played like an unwound gut string.
Velvet Garbo D string is spun with a polyamide/copper composite, solving the known problem of a slack and soft D gut string without sustain.
Velvet Garbo A & E strings are wound with copper, but with a higher proportion of gut than Anima. Extra gut material combined with the copper winding provides an especially distinctive low fundamental. You get more percussive "punch" from the bottom two strings.

| ÂÕèËéÍ: Velvet |

ÊÒ´ѺàºÔÅàºÊ Velvet ÃØè¹ Anima for Jazz Arco Work (ªØ´).
Tension 25 Kg. per string
Velvet recommends Anima as their hybrid or multi-use string for Pizz or Arco play.
Velvet Anima Bass Strings are the result of many years of active debate on the subject of string function and sound design. Applications include Orchestral or Solo performance, Baroque, Modern, Jazz, and Ethnic. Anima features high definition, strong fundamental bass and good balance with noticeably even tension across all four strings.
Anima consists of the best sounding synthetic and natural fiber materials. Exhaustive, computer-optimized design means a dream balance with gut-like characteristics, rapid & light response, paired with long, deep sustain. All strings are metal-wound - the precision-finished round wire winding results in a clear, open yet velvet-warm harmonic range.
The Anima strings are thinner than Garbos, meaning less mass on the string. Generally, Anima is not as dark as Velvet's Garbo Bass String. Anima strings do not have ball ends that attach in the tailpiece. They have looping ends, which are installed by pushing the string's loop end through tailpiece hole and bringing it back through the loop. - similar to tied gut strings.
