![D'Addario Kaplan Upright Double Bass String, Single E (light tension) - Quantum Bass Market](http://quantumbassmarket.com/cdn/shop/products/kaplan_e_{width}x.jpg?v=1565036541)
Kaplan light-gauge strings have an easy feel and pretty quick bow response, while adding little or no 'color' to the tone. Like a good studio monitor, just the inherent voice of your bass comes through. Kaplan strings are USA made, very moderately priced, and are most compatible with high-end basses - those which have a very good natural tone and already have a lot of resonance. Suitable for orchestral playing. Kaplan strings work best on basses that already have plenty of natural volume/projection.
