Gut-a-Like Vintage Double Bass Strings

Great for slapping and bluegrass/roots, but E-string is too loose!

I like the sound and feel of these strings, very easy on the fingers if you like the occasional slap.

However, on this regular Gut-a-Like set, the E string tends to be too loose which causes weak sustain and worse: colliding with the A string (=bad noises...)!

I do recommend paying the extra and go for the Gut-a-Like Deluxe.

Difference is merely that the A and E-strings are copper-winded.

I have been playing with the regular Gut-a-Like strings for a year and a half, and finally decided to order a seperate Gut-a-Like Deluxe E-string.

Difference is night and day (finally have some sustain on my E and there is enough tension to avoid #MeToo-situations with the A-string.

good strings

these are good strings... they are far fatter than i would have ever expected. but the sound is great.

i am no an expert, but they are quite good in my humble opinion.

Great for slapping!

These string have a very beautiful vintage look! They look so good on my double bass! They are perfect for slapping style, but also good for normal playing. I shouldn't use them to play with a bow... If you wanna play rockabilly style, these strings are great for you!
