Helicore Upright Bass Strings Double Bass Strings
New Improved D'Addario Helicore Bass
Strings are now available in all three brands, Arco, Pizzicato, and Hybrid.
Orchestra players, jazz pros, students, and their teachers like the even tone
across all four strings, as well as the easy 'start' that are the hallmarks
of Helicore Bass.
Helicore Arco
has been reformulated to have a richer, more complex tone. A bit of added mass
creates more volume and makes the string more lively for larger orchestra basses.
Overall the tone is more robust and more complex. Arco comes
in three gauges, Light, Medium, and Heavy. Color wrap in the tailpiece is blue
silk with a golden spiral.
Helicore Light Gauge Bass Strings
are suitable for lighter weight double basses with more delicate top plates
that just do not need higher tension strings. They're also a good choice for
players with hands that are just not as strong. A solid gold band at the end
of the color silk denotes Light Tension.
