How fat and lovely sounding gut strings can be (c/o Oscar Pettiford)

Sharing a video of the great Oscar Pettiford that Geoffbassist posted on his Facebook bass column, Discover Double Bass. Just look how huge his gut D (especially) and G are (the E/A are wrapped gut) but most of all ... what a beautiful tone. As close to chocolate as a double bass can sound IMHO

Thanks for sharing!

This video persuaded me to dig out my old gut strings this afternoon and stick them back on my bass. I've now got plain Cordes guts on the D & G which match rather nicely with my Innovation Braided Honeys on the E & A strings.

Just gotta learn to play like Oscar now...
