Description
The Pirastro Passione bass strings are a modern and reliable steel-core string suitable for the demanding bassist. The core material is made from a high-tensile and very flexible steel rope that is very stable and responsive. The set is extremely well balanced for both tension and sound.
- Tone: The core sound is full, round and warm with a complex overtone spectrum which results in a deep and noble sound with great projection and power. The sustain characteristics of the string allow a strong, big and warm pizzicato
- Playability: The response is incredibly easy and flexible, the notes are separate and distinctively clean when played in fast passages. The strings vibrate freely and easily with no need for excess bow pressure.
- Stability: Passione bass strings provide exceptional tuning stability.

These strings have great projection and more depth of sound than others. Love the darker tone colors with the Passiones!

I am willing to try a new type of string, but it is an expensive gamble, and I was disappointed from the moment I plucked the first newly installed string. The volume on pizzicato was very low, especially on the A string. The response doesn’t seem to be uniform, either. On a positive note, the intonation is stable, and the arco sound is fine, nice and warm, but I play a lot of pizzicato, and these strings will not do for my needs. Bummer.
