DOUBLE BASS NYLONCORE - NYLON FLAT WOUND 3/4 

DOUBLE BASS STRINGS
NYLON FLAT WOUND 3/4

The CONTRA series double bass strings are made of high quality selected silver alloy wire, 
hand-wound on multi-filament nylon core by master string makers. These innovative strings 
are developed to offer a tone and feeling very similar to gut strings, with best sound projection 
and support. Excellent for plucking, they also work very well with a bow.

Markbass Strings are made at our factory in Abruzzo (Italy), using the best selected innovative 
materials and ultimate quality controls matched with the ancient tradition of master string makers.   
Maybe not many people know that since the past centuries Abruzzo has been the motherland of 
almost all string makers.
The art of string making was born in this beautiful part of the world and many great brands in 
today’s worldwide market can trace their own origins here,  it's a history made of skilled hands, 
hard work, sacrifices and so much genius: typical features of  people from Abruzzo.
This artistry and know how have been exported worldwide as well, offering a superior product

Play longer, sound better

Cleartone Electric Strings may have a coating of only one micron, but it's more 
durable than coatings thousands of times its thickness. It won't flake off with 
hard playing, nor will it feel slick or slippery to your touch. Super-high tension 
winding over a hex-core is used to maintain tuning consistency throughout 
your performance. EMP Treatment is then applied to all the strings (including 
plain strings) to ensure longest tonal life without compromises.
  

  

Cleartone Drop C 013-070 elgitar strenger

Designed specifically for alternative tunings such as Drop D, Drop C and Drop C#, 
Cleartone DT sets feature heavier gauge strings for that extra tension you need. 
At one micron thin, the EMP Treatment is then applied to all 6 strings to ensure 
longest tonal life without compromises.

Everyone knows that coated strings last longer, and uncoated strings sound better. 
There is a Tone compromise and up until now, you had to accept it.

Thanks to Cleartone Strings, you no longer have that compromise. Cleartone 
Treated Strings feature a protective film called EMP – Enhanced Molecular Protection. 
This treatment helps prolong tonal life without sacrificing feel or sound. At one micron 
thin, it is up to one thousand times thinner than coated strings. In fact, EMP treated 
strings last as long or longer than other string brands on the market, but feel and 
sound like an uncoated set. This gives you exactly what you always wanted - killer 
Tone with an incredible lifespan. Let’s face it, changing strings is annoying, but
 throwing on a virtually dead set to begin with is much worse. Also, unlike coated 
strings, the EMP treatment works equally with both acoustic and electric strings. 
EMP bonds to the molecules in the metal so during hard strumming it doesn’t feel 
slippery and never flakes off. Cleartone Strings feel and sound like a regular set, 
but designed to last 3-5 times longer. Nothing else lasts as long and sounds as good. 
Cleartone is the next evolution in guitar strings.
