D'Addario Helicore Pizzicato bass A string is a multi-stranded steel core string that produces a brighter tone quality than the rest of the Helicore bass line. The core design makes for a string that is very easy to play under the left hand. Damping is reduced to create maximum sustain and "growl." Scaled to fit 3/4 size bass with a playing length of 41-3/4" (1060 mm), this A string is available in light, medium or heavy tension.

All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry.
