Dear Colleagues, I am 71 years old, and I have bad arthritis in my thumb joints and my right hand wrist after it was broken in a car accident (a hit and run). I play double bass at church. I primarily play pizz, but the music director has me play occasionally at an extra mass or special event...

After enjoying a time with Obligatos, I’m back on Zyex mediums. The Obligatos had a beautiful arco sound - very easy to bow - and nice pizz sound, felt great under the hands, sounded great in the practice room but didn’t translate well to the stage. Just didn’t amplify well on gigs and found...
It's often been pointed out that strings are bass-specific. One bass likes a certain string - another bass hates it.
I just order a new set of Perpetuals for my 7/8 Shen Gemunder. The first ones lasted about a year and a half. That bass really loves the Perpetuals.
I have been having 'issues'...
I just played Spiro Mittles for years, as that what my teacher told me to play. But then Covid and and I started looking at Talkbass string threads and the Odyssey began. The Sirens of gut, innovations, etc calling to me and my bass. Anyway, I jumped on the ship hoping to arrive at string...
Hi there,
I just started playing upright bass. I have experimented quite a bit with guitar and some with electric bass before. I think my ears are good enough to compare the sound of this upright bass to other ones by means of tone complexity, harmonics present in the tone, tone definition and...

I'm quite happy with my 5-string Upton 5/8, which is strung with spiro mediums up and down. I'm finding the high C string very bright, even twangy, after playing it for a year, and by now I thought it would be a bit more broken in. It's also quite stiff, to my mind.I am thinking a Zyex might be...
Haven’t posted anything of substance in a while (not sure this qualifies) but it was time for my annual string change and it seemed appropriate.
I’ve been a strong supporter of the Zyex strings - particularly the light gauge - as I’ve had such a great experience with them. I was going to put...
1 Set Pirastro "The Jazzer", lightly used $90 or trade for Perpetuals
These are very nice strings for pizz and arco. Lots of growl, too. An
easier bowing Spiro substitute, IMO. Traded
1 Superflexible G installed one day $25
1 Superflexible D 3 mths use $30
1 Original Flex G installed one day...

Time to purge the overflow of old strings. Most of these are used...well used, and I'm not sure of the amount of playtime on them. These will be a good match for the serial string experimenter who doesn't want to blow a bunch of cash on something they may not like.
Paypal is good, prices...

I’m used many strings for longer or shorter period in my life.like most of us, changed basses very few time, but I changed my instruments just recently...

I recently put Zyex light strings on my DB and I love the sound and feel and I'm wondering if anyone has tried them on an EUB. I have a Yamaha SLB 200 that has a well used set of D'Addario Helicore Pizzicato Mediums that are the factory recommended strings and they are sounding pretty dead and...
First, for some background, I'm a student so I can't buy a bunch of strings to try them. I play mostly orchestral/arco soloing, but I also play in the jazz band. I previously had on a set of Kaplan(im not sure which gauge) and I recently got a set of zyex mediums. The Kaplans I had on previously...
Bought this full set of Zyex strings from a fellow TB'er at the end of May. I'm a bluegrass player and simply wanted to experiment with a reasonably priced set of used strings. It didn't take me long (less than an hour) to miss my old Super Silvers. I was told these strings have approximately 1...
