## Description

Helicore Pizzicato bass strings are multi-stranded steel core strings that produce a brighter tone quality. The core design makes for strings that are very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is reduced to create maximum sustain and growl. Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), medium tension strings are optimized for a majority of players. The HP615 Low-C (extended E) string is only available as a single string and is not part of the HP610 set.

Review: Sound good - I bought these to put on my 3/4 size electric upright bass. I'm not super proficient with that bass, and it's a lower-end type, so these student level strings are fine and sound pretty good.
Review: Great value! - Enjoy playing on these strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound good
*by D***T on August 9, 2025*

I bought these to put on my 3/4 size electric upright bass. I'm not super proficient with that bass, and it's a lower-end type, so these student level strings are fine and sound pretty good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value!
*by K***S on November 20, 2024*

Enjoy playing on these strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound!
*by R***S on September 28, 2012*

We bought a quarter bass, and have been very pleased with it's sound. However, due to some rough handling by my daughter, the e string broke. This one was a straight drop-in replacement, and actually sounds better than the original. If another of the original strings breaks, I'm buying a set of these - they're a great deal!
