Essential Information About the Tungsten Wound G String Double Bass String 4/4

  • Flexible multi-strand spiral core : quick response and comfortable playability.
  • Long musical vibration : generous sustain with low inertia for better responsiveness.
  • Versatile : designed for both pizzicato and bowed playing.
  • Tungsten wound G string : high density for a focused sound and good projection.

A design engineered to combine flexibility and note stability

Thanks to its multi-strand spiral core structure, this string aims for an effective balance between finger flexibility and vibration stability. The tungsten winding on the G string helps maintain precision and presence, even when seeking a reactive and enjoyable string to play.

For which musicians and styles?

This string is intended for beginner to advanced double bassists who want a G string capable of transitioning from pizzicato playing (jazz, contemporary music) to bowed playing (orchestra, classical) without changing their setup. The available tension options allow you to adapt the feel to your technique and instrument.

Sound characteristics

The tungsten winding promotes a clear attack, good clarity, and increased projection, while maintaining a sense of flexibility thanks to the flexible core. The low inertia helps achieve a livelier response: a more distinct bow attack, easier articulation, and prolonged sustain in pizzicato.

Recommended compatible accessories

No specific accessories are required for installation: simply have the usual tools and consumables for your double bass maintenance ready (tuning, setup, and checking of the nut/saddle).
