Pirastro Jazzer Double Bass Strings. Modern jazz. Steel rope core. Pirastro Jazzer Double Bass Strings are modern jazz double bass strings. These strings for the double bass are famous for quick string response and long string sustain. With a steel rope core, Pirastro Jazzer Double Bass Strings are created to provide the superb pizzicato response on the double bass.
Gary's thoughts on Pirastro Jazzer bass strings: "These strings are not bow friendly but that is expected as they are even called jazz strings. But as jazz double bassists we do bow.......I do find the strings a bit.......well.....way too bright, even for pizzicato. An ok substitute for Spirocores but still, not quite as good, they seem to modulate quite a bit when I dig in. Most the sets I have played seem to lack an evenness from string to string. I prefer the sound of the E and A string over the D and G string. It's a quirky idea to have the ballends wrapped in rainbow colors but not the look I want on my bass."
