Close enough for the money 'and' you get 'six' strings to experiment with. I chose the heaviest 4 of the 6 strings and put them on an old ply Christopher. However, I had to go through three tail pieces of different weights before I was able to get the right sound. The lightest tail piece did the trick. I also had a new bridge installed which was shaped to accommodate the larger gauge of the strings. The balance of volume between the strings is very even. If you slap, you’ll need to raise your bridge high enough to allow the 170 E string clear the fingerboard for a strong attack, otherwise you’ll get more clack than a defined note, as this string has 'a lot' of excursion. I really like the spiral texture that’s cut into the surface. It does feel similar to a gut string. Much more flexible than the Rotosound RS 4000 set I used prior. The feel is soft and comfortable and the sound is quite warm and pleasant. It took about 10 days for them to settle in and stay in tune. You can bow with them, but getting a good sound will require a bit more rosen. I don't bow much, so to me, it's not a big deal. All in all, I think you'll find that they're well worth the money... Review: lots of stretching time needed on these strings but worth it - great feel much better sound than original strings. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008644R7Y | | Brand Name | Superior Bassworks | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (35) | | Finish Type | Textured | | Instrument | Bass Guitar | | Manufacturer Part Number | SBWGMAXGUT | | Model Number | SBWGMAXGUT | | Recommended Uses For Product | Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Bluegrass, Country/Western | | String Gauge | Medium Light (.170, .155, .130, .105, .095, .080) | | String Material Type | synthetic gut (nylon/kevlar) | | UPC | 752423487318 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Superior Bassworks - **Instrument:** Bass Guitar - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Bluegrass, Country/Western - **String Gauge:** Medium Light (.170, .155, .130, .105, .095, .080) - **String Material Type:** synthetic gut (nylon/kevlar) ## Images ![Superior Bassworks GRIPMAX Upright Double Bass Strings Dirty Gut Color FULL SET - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N9ala8UfL.jpg) ![Superior Bassworks GRIPMAX Upright Double Bass Strings Dirty Gut Color FULL SET - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/919eukVDODL.jpg) ![Superior Bassworks GRIPMAX Upright Double Bass Strings Dirty Gut Color FULL SET - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ACh5RUaAL.jpg) ![Superior Bassworks GRIPMAX Upright Double Bass Strings Dirty Gut Color FULL SET - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81chTu9CptL.jpg) ![Superior Bassworks GRIPMAX Upright Double Bass Strings Dirty Gut Color FULL SET - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xBXb7VoaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between the Gripmax and Deluxe strings?** A: Hi Grip max : The bottom area of the strings have a light to medium-soft texture that has been "spiral cut" into the string. This slight texture facilitates better gripping of the strings for lightning fast pizzicato playing, and drag triplets with with almost no effort. The strings "grab" the air and force it to move, producing more mid and low end tone when playing acoustically. Deluxe : Simulated “gut” texture on full length of strings. The strings have a light to medium-soft texture that has been "spiral cut" into the string. This slight texture facilitates better gripping of the strings for lightning fast pizzicato playing, and drag triplets with with almost no effort. The strings "grab" the air and force it to move, producing more mid and low end tone when playing acoustically. **Q: I play double bass pizzacatto but sometimes theres spots in music that sound better bowed. Is it possible the bow with these strings?** A: Yes, but you have to really rosen up the bow quite a bit. The E string fights me a bit, but for my needs, it’s OK. I play Django style and rock a billy. These strings are really great for that style. Good luck! **Q: Is the 'tone' as bad as weed wacker strings? I loved my Velvet animas, they are out f the buisness now..** A: I’ve not used weed whackers, but I use a plain gut ‘E’ string along with the grip max A D and G and it sounds very even. The grip max E didn’t quite sound as loud. The gut E matches better. I get lot’s of positive comments. **Q: When will they be back in stock...??** A: Don’t know. Worth waiting for... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value! *by P***I on July 25, 2020* It does take a while to get used to the feel of these strings, but I think they sound and feel surprisingly 'gut-like'.

I play traditional music (in Québec) and the very first night I used these strings at a local jam, several people, including a local luthier and professional upright bass player came up to ask me about my strings because of how nice they sounded. I also appreciate that I don't leave bleeding like I used to after overplaying my old metal strings. NEGATIVE : After a few weeks, the bottom "plug" of the A string came off (the rubberized covering frayed apparently) and I managed to replace it with a nut and some thin rubber; it's been fine ever since. Seems like the rubbery covering was at fault. Also, I find that the lowest string required me to do some adjustment to my bass setup as it does not have enough tension and is therefore not as bright and audible as the other strings. Really, really decent for 50$ and the set even included several extra strings (I can't remember which and am not where I can verify at the moment of writing this, but I think they were the D and G). And guaranteed for LIFE??? Amazing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Superior Bassworks GRIPMAX Upright Double Bass Strings Dirty Gut Color FULL SET - Hercules DS590B Double Bass Stand - Protec 3/4 STANDARD BASS BAG,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26199392-superior-bassworks-gripmax-upright-double-bass-strings-dirty-gut-color](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/26199392-superior-bassworks-gripmax-upright-double-bass-strings-dirty-gut-color) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
