Daddario NS710 Omni-Bass

I converted Thomann Beatbass to upright bass (violin). I have been searching well bowable strings for it 1,5 years.

I was asking short double bass strings from Thomann, and they told me this set NS710. I asked addwise from D'addario. They told, that this set is too long for my bass. They tryed to make me satisfied with ECB84, but I wanted something more sensitive. I belived, that I can find a way to install NS710 with small pended metall tubes on E and G strings. And I made it.

Now bowing is pleasant.

Striings for NS Design Omni-Bass, light, clear and powerfull low set.
Suitable for pizzicato and arco, they embrace a variety of tones and colors that shape the best of the Ned Stenberg instrument, achieving low warm tones on pizz and disposing the lightweigh of near electric wood mids in arco feeling.
Amazing set of strings for bass.

Very hard to find a standard bass guitar string that will take a bow but these strings are brilliant either for pizz or arco. OK, they are way more expensive that bass guitar strings but they are price comparible with cello or double bass strings and certainly feel similar. Definitely the way to go if you want to bow your Ibanez UB.
