paddy109 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Dear all, I have just bought a double bass that came with a spare set of strings. I have searched but unable to find what the make the strings are. Can someone help identify? E, black A, blue D, green G, red Paddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrixn1 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 There is a chart here. Are they Velvets perhaps? https://www.gollihurmusic.com/faq/57-STRINGS_STRING_IDENTIFICATION_CHART.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 I looked at this chart and completely missed those. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy109 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just looked again at the chart. My strings have a ball end not loops - so can’t be velvets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I’ve been trying to do the same as @paddy109 I’ve looked at the various charts google throws up and I’m not sure what’s on mine. Purple ball end with purple & green tuner end. Possibly Dominants? They are too stiff for my liking, but sound mahoosive arco. It would be handy to have some idea as I’ll be looking to move them on and get something more suited to pizz/slap. Sorry for poor image of scroll end, but purple and green is there.

paddy109 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 I tried loads of different sets of strings on my previous bass and settled with Innovation Silver and Golden Slaps - I found them great for both pizz/slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
