Product Description
Zyex bass strings use a synthetic Zyex core that provides gut-like rich and complex tone, combined with power and clarity for both pizzicato and bowing. Pitch stability is excellent after minimal break-in time. Zyex bass strings were developed primarily to offer outstanding pizzicato attacks and sustain, as well as superb bowing response. Get the sound and feel of gut strings with more evenness, projection and stability than real gut. Zyex is a new generation of synthetic material, creating strings that are extremely stable under drastic climatic conditions. Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), medium tension strings are optimized for a majority of players. Set and singles available in 3/4 size, medium and light tensions, standard tuning.
Product Features
Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), heavy tension strings will allow for greater projection and volume potential.
Helicore Orchestral bass strings 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, but they also work well for pizzicato applications where a very warm, less-sustaining sound is desired.

Customer Reviews
I'm a big fan of these strings so far. I bought them to replace the old strings which had been on my bass for about 10 years. The Helicore orchestral mediums work well for my bass and sound good for orchestral playing. The D'addario brand is a good alternative to the European brands which have gone up in price over the last few years. These were less expensive than offerings from Pirastro, Corelli, or Thomastik. They are also high quality, much better than cheap brands like Super Sensitive. I might like to try D'addario Kaplans next time I need new strings, as they are supposedly a step up from Helicores.
