Product Description
Active, professional bass players require a full-gauged string with plenty of tension for a full tone that can carry through a small club or a stadium and the durability of strings that they can put on the instrument and not worry about, whatever the conditions of the performance situation. The Red Diamond strings are the solution.
This is a combination package of the G-1 and D-2 together.
The G-1 and D-2 strings are made of the finest beef serosa from the green fields of Ireland, twisted in our famous Lyon gut style, then wrapped with nylon to protect the string from adverse environmental conditions. The nylon is polished smooth for slick playing action and long life.
Red Diamond string gauges are based on the popular medium range from our famous Academie line of bass strings with the following specifications:
| String | Gauge |
Approximate tension |
| G-1 |
2.50mm ( .098”) (50PM) |
23Kg (52.9Lb) |
| D-2 |
3.34mm (.131”) (67PM) |
22Kg (48.5Lb) |

Good, but not what I had in mind
I am a classical player, and use the bow. These strings, while of excellent quality, are wrapped in nylon and do not respond well to the bow. I would look at plain gut strings if you play with the bow (which I have also bought through Gamut Music and do enjoy). I wish that the website explicitly mentioned that they do not have great bow response, so I would not have accidentally bought them. If you are a jazz, rockabilly, etc. player, however, these strings are lovely. Very resonant and clean tone. I have kept my set in case I need to play jazz in the future.
