    Double Bass Help Identify strings

    Does anyone know what strings these are? The E and D are numbered, (4&2) and the threads are color coded. There’s also a S stamped on the reverse side of the E and D strings. Thanks!

    Double Bass Synthetic Guts That Are Most Like Velvet Garbos

    Just started playing bass again after several years and to my extreme disappointment learned that Velvet has stopped making strings. Any recommendations for synthetic gut strings that have a similar sound and feel as Garbos??
