Pirastro Obligato Double Bass 4/4-3/4 Reviews

Great all-around double bass strings

The feeling is good and flexible, tension is relatively low. Really good strings for all around players - very versatile string set. Great for jazz/pizz, also very good for arco playing.

Recommended by my teacher for bow use

Strings recommended by my teacher that have greatly improved the sound of my double bass, mainly for bow playing!

Superb!

These stings replaced the dreadful stock strings on my NS NXT4 EUB and transformed the instrument especially when bowed. They are a significant price but worth every penny!

Versatile

The most versatile strings I've ever tried. Once you go this strings you'll never go back.

Excellent strings, warm and rich sound, very good response.

But need to be changed more often then steel ones.

my first strings

so I am no so experienced to say but I like those as they have great respons and nice wooden tone. great strings for good price.

Well made all-rounder.

These are top quality bass strings with synthetic core and metal winding. If you like the slightly softer feel of a synthetic cored string these are a good option. They have a full round sound and feel nice under the fingers.

I have fitted them on quite a few instruments and never had any complaints -they are certainly well made and seem long lasting. They are definitely better than cheaper synthetic cored strings that I hace tried.

They are great as a general purpose string for covering a range of styles. If however you play exclusively in one style (classical/arco or slap for example) you can probably find something more suitable. Strings are very much a matter of personal taste/what suits a particular instrument/playing style etc. so there are no hard and fast rules... whatever works for you! Definitely worth a try if you think they might be what you are after.
