Oliv G Double Bass 4/4-3/4 : Warm and full sound

6 years ago

Using this G string with Evah Pirazzi on the other strings (D, A, and E) and it complements them perfectly. The sound (both pizz and arco) is full and warm and not as punchy as the Evah Pirazzi G string.

Three drawbacks that I can think of:

1. A bit on the thick side, approximately the size of my D string. However, not an issue for me as my nut was wide enough.

2. Takes a while to settle in tune. Took me about a month to stay in tune. Not a biggie though.

3. A bit pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for.
