At last a reasonably cheap but very good good set of double bass strings
Very happy with these after trying several other makes. among the cheapest I have tried, but they have proved to be better in sound and feel to the others. My Bassix semi-acoustic double bass has proved tricky to install strings on - other sets would unravel when tuning up, (due partly to the bridge design on my particular one-off model). The Pyramid set, however were easy to install and tune up - and have held their tuning ever since. I only play with fingers so cannot comment on arco, but for my attempts at jazz style playing they feel great under the fingers and sound perfect - warm and woody with just enough thud'. Thomann cannot be faulted for packaging and delivery (to the UK in this instance).

Pyramid Black Tape Nylon
Great strings for this price. I was looking for budget strings for my cheap plywood double bass and these must be one of the best pizzicato strings at this price range. E,A and maybe D string too are good and sounds very mellow but the G string sounds a bit too metallic for my taste. Not as mellow as the rest of the strings. All in all good strings for pizzicato. Haven't tried arco.

Very strings for the money - the G string sounds a little too steely for my taste

i like them
feel a bit different but they sound great
a little lighter on the finger tip too so less painful if your calouses have became a bit weak
