## Overview

The Superior BassworksDELUXE Upright Double Bass Strings are designed for musicians who crave versatility and quality. With a full set of six string options and a unique synthetic gut construction, these strings deliver the authentic tone and feel of natural gut while fitting a wide range of bass scales. Perfect for genres like Rockabilly, Bluegrass, and Psychobilly, they are the ultimate choice for any serious bassist looking to enhance their sound.

## Description

Simulated “gut” texture on full length of strings. The strings have a light to medium-soft texture that has been "spiral cut" into the string. This slight texture facilitates better gripping of the strings for lightning fast pizzicato playing, and drag triplets with with almost no effort. The strings "grab" the air and force it to move, producing more mid and low end tone when playing acoustically. All of our nylon string sets come as a 6 string “bump” assortment (6 total strings of various gauge. See photos.) for 1/2, 3/4, and 4/4 size double bass. The idea is that some players prefer thinner, lower tension strings while others prefer thicker, higher tension stings. Why not offer a wide array of thickness and tension all in one package of strings? This is exactly what we do! Our string sets also include rubber dipped metal ends. NO KNOTS to come untied in the middle of your set! We are proud to be the only company offering this configuration. You need strings that sound great when played acoustic or amplified, strings that won't tear your fingers up if you need to play 3 sets in one night, strings that stay in tune in hot/cold/humid/dry climates. You need Superior Bassworks Kevlar cored nylon strings for double bass. Perfect for Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Bluegrass, Country/Western,and much much more! The string sizes included in each pack are: .170, .155, .130, .105, .095, .080 (sizes in inches). If your bass has never had non-steel strings installed, please keep in mind that some modification of the tailpiece string slots, bridge string notches, nut string notches, and tuning machine string holes may be required. This is completely normal, and will not prevent you from switching to other string types in the future. Please measure your bass before ordering. If you are not confident making these adjustments yourself, please consult a professional luthier or more experienced bass player for assistance. These strings are not recommended for school orchestra students.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these strings at least 60 inches long ?**
A: I just measured the thickest one. I read 68 inches.

**Q: whats the difference between these and the set that sells for 20 bucks less?**
A: Deluxe set is textured and sounds like plain gut. Standard set is smooth like weedwackers

**Q: can you bow with the deluxe set since they are textured?**
A: Yes, you can bow. Use a good quality rosin and you should have no problems, It took about a week for my strings to stop stretching after that the intonation has been excellent. These strings come with a "Lifetime" warranty.

**Q: What is the different between the Standard and Deluxe set ?**
A: The deluxe set has more of a gut string feel in my opinion. However, the E string is very flexible and has very low tension.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ does the job suprisingly well
*by F***X on June 9, 2024*

I cannot manipulate metal core strings over the course of a rehearsal any longer, so I tried these and found them surprisingly responsive with a pleasant gut tone. I had to expand the E-string hole on the tailpiece as expected. Note: It took two weeks for the strings to settle in enough to keep a tuning for a reasonable length of time and they stretched enough that I had to reset the angle of the bridge - twice. I'll expect that next set and set a greater downward angle of the bridge at the start - plus not be afraid to trim a bit more at the peg box end to avoid some of the work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Strings and a great price
*by R***E on June 20, 2024*

I put on the 4 middle gauge ones like they recommended. Only had to make the tail piece slot for the .155 E a little bit wider. The bigger fat .170 will need the winding peg hole widened a bit if I use it in the future. I’m glad they give you a choice in the set with the 6 string set. Also love they’re made in USA. Would buy these again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm not a huge bow player but will agree that the texture is very good for arco in the little that I do
*by S***D on December 8, 2015*

I use these for pizz and slap and they definitely have that shorter attack, darker gut sound. The main thing to note is they are much softer on the hand and especially on the fingerboard which is important if you slap at all. I put some scoring on my fingerboard slapping with some metal ribbon wound strings and with these I both am kinder to the fingerboard and to my hands. I'm not a huge bow player but will agree that the texture is very good for arco in the little that I do.One thing about tuning an upright. Its very important to tension them slowly and especially if you play them like I do with the larger guage size, like guts. You should either use graphite to lubricate where they slide over the bridge or gently nudge the string over the bridge by pressing back with your thumb on the bridge. Otherwise its easy to pull your bridge toward the neck of the bass as you get up to tension, but this is true of all bass strings.Also because these are fairly soft and "rubbery" there is about a 4 or 5 day period while they stretch in when you first put them on. But thats true for real guts, as I understand, as well.
