Spirocore S36 Bass G String: Medium

The Spirocore S36 Bass G String: Medium is a premium replacement string for double bass players who want fast response, strong projection, and the lasting performance that has made Spirocore a longtime standard. Johnson String describes Spirocore strings as built with a flexible multiwire spiral rope core that offers a longer period of musical vibration while significantly reducing inertia. That design helps the string feel lively and quick under both the bow and the hand, making it a strong choice for advancing students, serious amateurs, and professional bassists using a full-size instrument.

As part of the Thomastik-Infeld Spirocore Orchestra line, the S36 is the medium-tension G string for 4/4 double bass. Thomastik lists it with spiral core construction, chrome winding, an aluminum ball end, and a crimp ball tailpiece end. Johnson String also notes that Spirocore strings are equally effective for arco and pizzicato playing, highly responsive, and long lasting, which helps explain their continued popularity among bassists who need one string that can handle a wide range of repertoire and playing styles.
