Customer Reviews
I have been a bassist for 45 years and have played upright for 25. I've always used Obligato's because I thought they were the best since they were so expensive. I never realized that there are strings for bowing, hybrid and pitz players (I know) so I was pretty amazed by the feel of these strings first of all (medium tension is what I ordered) and they smoothness and playability are very nice. The sound is where they got me. My old '63 Kay has never sounded better and they really brought my Realist pickup and MarkBass combo to life like they haven't sounded in years. Highly recommend!
