I am amazed how good the evenness of the sound is throughout the entire range of my bass.

Jazz double bass strings
No compromises for both pizzicato and arco.
More possibilies, free sound.
Tempera HYBRID double bass strings for jazz combine two completely different demands: Playing with a bow and playing pizzicato. The double bass strings are perfect for jazz players who also have high demands on their bow sound.
The Tempera HYBRID double bass strings have a clear, defined pizzicato sound with plenty of punch and a sophisticated sustain without sounding artificial. The lower string tension allows the instrument to vibrate more freely, producing a wider sound projection and greater volume. Regardless of whether you play with or without amplification: the HYBRID double bass string masters both situations perfectly.

I can’t believe how powerful they are even at low tension.

...playing was heaven. It is like the strings combine the best of gut and steel.
Flor Van Leugenhaeghe
My instrument has now completely opened up and continues to vibrate loudly through the duration of the note, which it never seemed to do with any other string I had tried.
