Thanks guys, but as I posted in another thread I'm doing almost all arco playing, split maybe 70/30 between orchestra and solo (classical) playing, so I don't really care what they're like as jazz pizz strings. Still, your opinions can be extrapolated to give other indications
It seems universal that people find the Oblis die fast (under 1 year for sure) and that the low strings go first. That alone is enough to steer me away from them. On the other hand, Dominants when installed carefully are said not to break as much as Talkbass might imply, and will definitely last (1-2 yrs+)
I'd jump on the Doms (or a Dom/Spiro combo) if all I was doing was section playing since that will be a nice loud/bright set. My concern is for when I want to play solo repertoire that their sound will be too harsh and hard to start under the bow at low dynamics.
