Helicore Hybrid double bass strings are optimised for both Pizzicato and Arco playing. They are ideal for professionals, and intermediate players and an excellent upgrade for students.

Helicore Hybrid bass strings are available for 1/2 and 3/4 size double basses and are designed to work well for both pizzicato and arco playing. They are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a moderately warm tone quality. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is optimized to create a good balance between pizzicato sustain and bow response, allowing for good performance across many playing styles, from symphonic to jazz or bluegrass.

  • Clear and focused articulation
  • Fast, flexible, and responsive
  • Low, Medium and High tension variants are available in 3/4 size
  • Pairs exceptionally well with a wide variety of instrument types and musical styles
  • All D’Addario strings are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA using groundbreaking core technology developed in-house

Helicore Hybrid Double Bass Strings Scale Lengths

  • 3/4 Size 1080mm / 41 3/4 inches
  • 1/2 Size 975mm / 38 3/8 inches

Other similar hybrid double bass strings to consider are D’Addario Zyex and Pirastro Evah Pirazzi; both of these strings have a synthetic core giving a gut-like Pizz sound and start nicely under the bow. If you are mainly playing Pizz, we would recommend Helicore Pizzicato bass strings.

Yamaha uses the low/light tension variant on their SLB Silent Basses. If you’re looking to replace your SLB strings with what the bass shipped with, these are what you need.
