Lower tension and thinner than most bass strings but that's why I bought them, I don't play as much as I used to and find that with these strings I can play for much longer without getting tired.
Due to the low tension they can easily be tuned up to solo pitch without stressing an instrument. In fact they feel more like standard tension strings this way and work very well, sounding nicer and less raspy than most solo sets I've tried.
Tone wise they were pretty bright at first but mellowed out after a week or so, the higher range carries well but the lower two strings can lack a little richness of tone. They are clear and articulate though and very easy to get notes started on. In my opinion any slight deficiency in tone is more than made up for by how ridiculously easy they are to play.
Have done a few gigs with them now and quality seems fine, can't see them coming of my bass in the next year or so.
Unfortunately there was an error. Please try again later.

Durch die drastisch geringere Spannung im Vergleich zu z.B. Spirocore weich (Jazz) oder Belcanto (Klassik) von Th.-Infeld ist die Saite viel leichter bespielbar. Sehr ausgeglichenes Klangbild über alle 4 Saiten und sehr stimmstabil. In hohen Lagen gutes Sustain, tragfähiger Ton und leichte Ansprache - vor allem bei pizzicato. Beim Streichen muß man sich z.B. bzgl. Bogendruck wegen der geringeren Saitenspannung etwas umgewöhnen.
Insgesamt harmonieren die Saiten mit meinem Kontrabass (Alfred Mayer 4/4, Orchesterstimmung) ausgezeichnet und ich kann die Saiten v.a. den Jazzern wärmstens empfehlen.
Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich nach einigen Monaten noch nichts sagen, bisher jedenfalls kein Problem. Hinsichtlich Verarbeitung keine Beanstandung.
