Double bass players demand two things from their strings: impeccable tone and unyielding reliability. With Thomastik-Infeld's Dominant double bass strings, you get both. For starters, their extra-flexible, multi-strand synthetic cores exhibit the perfect balance between the warm harmonic textures of gut strings and brilliance of steel. Beyond that, Dominant strings deliver pitch stability regardless of humidity — a must for any musician. Double bass players at Sweetwater appreciate the long life of these strings. Even after hours of heavy use, Dominant strings maintain a rich, clear sound that's ripe with overtones. Thomastik-Infeld has produced high-end orchestral and fretted instrument strings for more than 100 years, and Dominant double bass strings are some of their best — a reference standard if there ever was one.
