Thomastik Belcanto BC600 Double Bass 3/4 Medium — Warm Orchestral Tone for 3/4 Double Bass

The Thomastik Belcanto BC600 Double Bass 3/4 Medium is a medium-tension string set built for orchestra tuning on 3/4 double basses. Using a specially twisted steel rope core with chrome winding, it delivers the dark, warm tone and excellent resonance appreciated by orchestral players. The YRS-23 settles quickly and intonates reliably, making it a favorite among working bassists.

What Makes This String Set Stand Out

Instead of focusing solely on arco, this model also handles light pizzicato with a punchy, focused response. Many describe the sound as reminiscent of old-school gut strings, offering a smooth character that tempers the usual metallic brightness of steel-core sets. Four strings are included — G (BC61), D (BC62), A (BC63), and E (BC64) — each with a crimp ball end for quick, secure fitting.
