Thomastik Belcanto Double Bass 3/4

I was after strings for bow use, as I was trying to develope my technique. Previously I had the thomastik superflexible, and those sound really good but my bow didn't had grip enough, and the A was starting to give funny noises.

Surprise was that that the grip was not so much better. Sound was mellower and more beautiful than the superflexibles, but the grip was due to my not so good technique. Surprise was also that the pizzicato sound was really good in my bass, for jazz use. I know this is not the usual evaluation for these strings, but I love the jazz pizz sound I'm getting. Open, full, not old school in any aspect. If you use the right fingers in the right way, you can get a nice sound. I guess that with lower tension strings maybe you gan get more powerful sounds in thumb position, but I'm not so experinced in trying several upright basses with several string types, so this was just my guess. I just know that I'm for sure enjoying this string pack for jazz playing.
