Innovation Polychrome Hybrid Double Bass Strings
£44.99 – £299.99
Created in 2017 as a way to combine Innovation’s signature pizzicato sound with more arco-friendly qualities, the Polychrome Hybrid set delivers on all fronts!

Polychromes have a great feel under the fingers; slightly soft with a little give. The pizzicato one is gut-like in its timbre, with a strong fundamental. They bow VERY nicely, with a big and warm sound that is not too harsh, with excellent volume.

For the player that is doing a lot of performing in various genres with different tonal needs for each one, the Innovation Polychrome Hybrids will fit the bill nicely!

Innovation Psycho Slap Double Bass Strings
£44.99 – £224.99
Psychobilly players have a big sound, aggressive technique and blistering speed. It’s only fair that their strings do the same!

Innovation Psycho Slaps are larger diameter strings, with clear nylon winding. These are very easy to get a grip on and provide a very fat sound with good sustain, and that signature “click” of the slap. These strings want to be heard!

For those players playing in Jump Swing and Blues groups, they may find the larger tone and attack of the Psycho Slaps is a welcome addition!

Innovation Rockabilly Double Bass Strings
£44.99 – £224.99
A mid-tension string, the Rockabilly Blacks were designed to replace gut strings for slapping. They have a warmer, darker tone but a softer high end that produces a lot of volume. The synthetic core makes these strings feel and sound like gut strings, but without the expense and maintenance of them!

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

Innovation Super Silver Double Bass Strings
