Hey, Ken will undoubtedly correct me...

Mike, EP weichs have a great pizz sound and a very good arco sound. They might be worth a try. The one thing I would say is that the bowing response is a little slow for very fast arco passages (on...

All good Scott, stay with the BCs. Hey, they worked fine for me in a gypsy jazz band a few years back.
I'm just a little worried about your lefthandedness and giving up bowing.
I too am left...

Glad they're going well for you Scott. On my bass(es) the Belcanti felt a tad too loose for pizz - I used them in a gypsy jazz band for quite a while. I like a bit more resistance (for pizz) when the...

Thanks for that Ken. Ha! I know what you mean about what you hear. I might go with those reds instead of the Kaplans - I don't want Kaplans if I don't get that fast response. I've got my second bass...

Ken, is it true that the Kaplans have a fast response under the bow? I'm wondering if Spiro Reds would have a fast response too. The EP weichs are a bit slow. I've been thinking about Spiro reds too...

Snap! Couldn't agree more! I've been playing French on them and getting frustrated. My bow is going back to the luthier today to get its German frog back on. The German certainly gets a better sound...

...but let me say first that Scott's comments sound very intelligent to me.
That said, I'll make my point.
I had my bow changed back to French three days ago. When I got home and started playing...

Really interesting about the 4/4 & 3/4 thing Scott.
I must say, though, that I'm not interested in how I can improve the sound of a string with amp setting. For me, the string must sound (and...
