Detail 01
Bass grade
Much softer and stickier than violin or cello rosin. Bass strings are thick and need real friction to speak.

1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Soft-grade rosin for double bass. For bass players who need enough grip to pull a heavy string, in a case-friendly holder.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Double bass students working on arco tone
- Orchestral bass players who need bite on low strings
- Cool rooms and winter playing, where harder rosin skates
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Violin, viola, and cello — soft bass rosin is far too tacky
- Hot, humid venues, where soft grades get gummy and messy
- Pizzicato-only players who never use the bow
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Soft formulation
More grab, faster string response, but it goes tacky in heat. Many bassists keep a harder cake for summer.
Detail 03
Supergrip line
Hidersine's high-tack bass grade, aimed at attack and volume rather than a smooth, quiet stroke.
Detail 04
Around $12
Entry-level pricing for bass rosin. Comparable in cost to a set of strings' worth of consumables per year.
Detail 05
Cake format
Solid block you draw the bow across. Soft cakes wear faster and mark fingers more than hard violin rosin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Rosin only. No bow, cloth, or bass accessories included.
- 02Soft rosin softens in a hot car — do not leave it in one
- 03Excess dust falls on the top; wipe the instrument down after playing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use bass rosin on a cello?
It will grip, but it is far tackier than cello grade. Expect a rougher attack and heavy dust. Use cello rosin instead.
02Soft or hard bass rosin?
Soft grips more and suits cooler rooms and players wanting attack. Hard is cleaner and holds up better in heat and humidity.
03How do I apply it?
Draw the bow slowly across the cake several times, tip to frog. Bass takes more rosin than violin, but stop before the tone turns gritty.
04Does it work for both arco and pizzicato?
Rosin only affects bowed playing. It does nothing for pizzicato beyond leaving residue on the strings.
