Presto Nylonwound Ultralight 3/4

What a pleasant surprise when I put these strings on my bass. beautiful feel, surprisingly load. I wasn't expecting that. In the following five days I played in small rooms, large halls and outdoors. The strings were capable of keeping tune in all environments and I just have to comment again about the sound, really sweet and all the vibrations on my double bass felt as though they belonged to me. I could wax lyrical about these strings but they really need to be heard and felt to appreciate their exceptional quality

Low tension good for slap.

Positives:
+ Ultra Low Tension (if your bass needs that, or you)
+ needs higher string heights
+ sound pretty good
+ can reduce wear on a soft fingerboard (large diameter & nylon cover)

Negatives:
- Ultra Low Tension (if you like Starks)
- I can not bow them always reliably
- may require a dedicated nut (or adaptation) & bridge adaptation
- needs higher string heights

Been new to the upright bass I asked the Thomann team for advice on the type of string I needed(rockabilly style). they recommended these strings and they were perfect,they are very supple and make playing much easier on the righthand,they also stay in tune very well which I thought would be a problem. I would highly recommend these strings.

Hi
I have used these for the 1st time and I am really impressed with the feel and sound both acousticly and amplified..Will definitely buy again..

Lovely strings but not for bow use

Very good strings easy to handle for rockabilly
