I was so impressed the first time I played these strings on a friend’s Ac. Bass, and even more impressed with them on my instrument! They have such a nice warmth, amazing sustain, and really bring out the instrument’s character. I have Hybrids on all of my basses!

My Acoustic Bass is always equipped with D'Addario Hybrids. They consistently provide amazing clarity, punch and sustain for every musical situation, live or studio. Check out my latest solo release, "Just Play!" to hear them for yourself! -TK A D’Addario Orchestral player since 2010.
