## Overview

D'Addario Helicore Orchestral Bass Single G String is a light tension, nickel-wound string tailored for 3/4 size basses with a 41 3/4 inch playing length. Featuring a multi-stranded steel core, it offers warm tone quality and excellent bow response, optimized for orchestral arco use but versatile enough for pizzicato. Made in the USA with corrosion-resistant coating, these strings combine professional-grade durability and playability, making them a top choice for serious bassists seeking premium sound and comfort.

## 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 ;. Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41 3/4 inches (1060mm), heavy tension strings will allow for greater projection and volume potential. The HP615 Low-C (extended E) string is only available as a single string and is not part of the HP610 set.

Review: Great, affordable strings to make my bass sing. - I'm a big fan of these strings so far. I bought them to replace the old strings which had been on my bass for about 10 years. The Helicore orchestral mediums work well for my bass and sound good for orchestral playing. The D'addario brand is a good alternative to the European brands which have gone up in price over the last few years. These were less expensive than offerings from Pirastro, Corelli, or Thomastik. They are also high quality, much better than cheap brands like Super Sensitive. I might like to try D'addario Kaplans next time I need new strings, as they are supposedly a step up from Helicores.
Review: Great strings and a very reasonable price - These are great strings for orchestral playing that are not quite as stiff as normal orchestral strings. They were just what I needed. They also have a good sound for plucking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Orchestral Strings
*by D***C on January 28, 2014*

I just bought a Shen SB100 bass three months ago. This Shen is a laminated bass. It's not an expensive bass ($2200), but it's well regarded and very well made. I asked that Bel Canto strings be installed on the bass (since I was buying it new). I had never used Bel Cantos but I had read good reviews on the TalkBass.com forum. The Bel Cantos seemed to be very good, but they were a high tension string (in my opinion) and I was working a little too hard to press them down. Other Shen owners had said on the forum that sometimes you need to try out several brands of strings before you will find one that plays well and sounds good with your instrument. My next set of strings were D'Addario Kaplans. I felt they were an improvement over the Bel Cantos. Less tension and a great tone. But I wasn't happy with the response I was getting from the A and E strings. I had used Helicores in the past. I knew that they were a reliable all-around string. So I decided to get a set of Helicores. Since I liked the sound of the Kaplan D and G I decided to put together a "Hybrid" set using the Hellicores on A and E. It worked great and that is what I have stayed with now. I did put the Helicore G and D on as well and they were fine, but I really liked the sound of the Kaplans on G and D and since I had them and had the luxury of mixing and matching, that was my final choice. But, that all said, had I put on the Helicores right from the start I probably would have been content with those.
