Eurosonic Bass
strings
Designed as an
alternative to costly and problematic gut strings, Eurosonic
Bass Strings are primarily a pizzicato string that are
developing a cult like following with many jazz and
bluegrass musicians.

Eurosonic
Bass Strings have a unique design that sets them apart from
all others. First is the inner core which is a braided cord
consisting of steel and silk. Silk is the key to the low
tension, gut like tones and the steel adds tuning and
intonation stability while adding the ability to work with
magnetic pickups. This cord is then tightly wrapped with a
blend of non-ferrous and noble metals (copper, nickel, zinc,
tungsten, etc.). Finally, they are wrapped with a specially
shaped and ground polymer with no color additives giving
Eurosonic strings a unique, almost translucent look.
Eurosonic Bass Strings have a gauge that is comparable to
many old gut strings (new gut strings are MUCH thicker as
they have not yet stretched).

“EUROSONIC
strings provide a great alternative to gut. They have all of
the great qualities of gut combined with the stability of
metal, a perfect marriage. I've had the opportunity to check
them out on a number of basses and once they are played in,
the results are the same; great tone, projection and
playability combined with superior workmanship."
-Dave Santoro, CT Double Bassist
“As
a pizzicato string, they offer a huge, full sound that feels
great in the left hand. The same boom that is characteristic
of gut strings is also prevalent in Eurosonic.”
“If you are a pizzicato player who has tried just about
everything, these strings will raise your eyebrows with
their modern feel and tone.”
-Sean McClowry
