I am a bit surprised that the Jargars are not so popular...anyone else had any experience ? Ken ? I remember an old thread of yours on TB regarding jargars forte ...
Yes, I have used these and liked them. The A and E did require some extra bow pressure but the sound was rewarding. Currently I have a set Split on two Basses. One with G/D Forte Jaegar and A/E Eudoxa and one with Oliv G/D and A/E Forte Jaegar. It seems that each Bass likes what it likes and will not listen to reason.
