Make a statement without saying a word! The Rockabilly Reds are a medium tension, red nylon tape wound set, made to replace gut strings for slapping. Like the Rockabilly Blacks, they have a warmer, darker tone with a softer high end that produces a lot of volume. The synthetic core brings the sound and feel of gut strings, without the temperament and maintenance of them.

For those that don’t play slap-style bass, the Rockabilly Reds are also equally suited for jazz playing. Their pizzicato tone has great sustain and grown, without being too overbearing.

Known by their distinctive “ultra black” colour, Ultra Blacks work well for the player seeking a fuller, darker sounding string for traditional jazz and other styles. They have a darker tone, akin to gut strings, but with more snap and definition in pizzicato. The Ultra Blacks also respond easily under a bow.

Ultra Blacks fill the void between the traditional gut string sound and more modern steel strings. They have a solid fundamental with good sustain, suitable for nearly all pizzicato work, be it jazz, bluegrass, folk or traditional.
