Overall the SF A/D/G sound the best on my bass, but the spiro mittle extended-E seems choked a bit.
Is my thinking correct? Maybe weichen all the way across might be the ticket? Also, my mensure is 41 3/4 with the back of the bridge feet bisecting the line between the inner f-hole nicks. So I'm thinking S42 is my string right?
Bass: 2003 Romanian carved flatback by Baranyai Gyorgi, Budapest I got from Robertson's in NM.

I have used the SF Ex some time ago on my Storioni. It was on the bass when I first bought it so they did at least make it back then. It was an orchestra gauge, not solo.
