The Thomastik 3885.5W Spirocore Bass 'E' String is a 3/4 double bass orchestra string featuring the high-twist spiral rope core used in Spirocore strings. It delivers a distinctive focused sound with a brilliant and clear top and a powerful bottom, making it ideal for dark-sounding instruments.

The spiral rope core enables prompt translation of every impulse from the left hand or bow into an expressive and powerful sound. Spirocore strings offer a long lifespan, long sustain, growl, punch and power, together with a broad dynamic range and a variety of tonal colours.

The 3885.5W Weich E string corresponds to the DT3885.5 specification shown in the supplied source, featuring Spiral Core construction, Chrome Wound outer material, Aluminium tailpiece end and Crimped Ball End. The source specifies a 104cm vibrating string length for 3/4 double bass, usable from 103cm to 106cm.
