VELVET Garbo, Anima, and Compas 180 Double bass strings are constructed around a core of natural silk fibres, producing a sound (and feel to the player) which cannot be distinguished from pure gut strings. Windings, whether with copper or a synthetic material, reinforce the strings' warmth and richness of tone. Each type of string offers unique characteristics, providing an attractive solution for most playing applications.

The All new Velvet Blue double bass sets feature a synthetic core, providing an more affordable option to the Velvet professional sets but still retaining many of the qualities for which Velvet are renowned.

Highly unusually for any string manufacturer, Schertler charge the same higher price for each of their individual main set strings. We have little choice but to reflect this policy, but have introduced a price split to reward returning customers for G and D strings.

VELVET COMPASS 180 ORCHESTRAL Double Bass Strings NEW SWISS MADE
Classical string designed for orchestral tuning.
The use of up-to-date textile fibres makes the strings particularly elastic, allowing (the instrument) increased amplitude of vibration, and producing a full, rich, open sound.
The pizzicato is strong with long sustain. The strings respond perfectly to the harmonics, which are crystal-clear. Compas 180 requires no change in playing technique by the instrumentalist, while opening up new possibilities in terms of sound, tone and modulation.

VELVET GARBO JAZZ Bass Strings NEW SWISS MADE
The strings of choice for the jazz bassist.
The solid core highlights the particular frequencies which enable the acoustic instrument to hold its own - even against a drum set. The sound is especially distinctive for the lower-middle frequency range, offering rich harmonics that are clear and assertive with the familiar "kick" as the note begins. The Garbo strings can produce a fullness of tone and penetration which is simply unbeatable.
