Hybrid bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a moderately warm tone quality. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is optimized to create a good balance between pizzicato sustain and bow response, allowing for good performance across many playing styles, from symphonic to jazz or bluegrass.
Pizzicato bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a brighter tone quality than the rest of the Helicore bass line. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is reduced to create maximum sustain and "growl".
Helicore Solo bass strings are tension-adjusted specifically for A-E-B-F# scordatura solo tuning, one whole-step higher than standard tuning. They are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a warm tone quality with excellent bow response. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is optimized for arco use, making them ideal for solo performance.
