Good old Weichs!
I've just put Spiro Weichs back on my bass. I've tried Dominants, Bel Cantos and Evas lately and they're all good. Last weekend, for reasons I won't bore you with, I finished up playing a set with a borrowed ply strung with Weichs. Bowing and pizz were required. I noticed that, high up on the G, these strings seemed to have a nice sort of clarity that came with a sort of 'bite'. I was also reminded of their nice pizz sound. A couple of days later I put a slightly used set on my bass. They still sound a little 'new', but I'm liking their honest tone. Okay, a little more care is needed to avoid scratches, but I can handle that. I think that when these strings really settle I'll be happy for a long time.
I'm also thinking of the money I've put into other strings over the last year, only to finish up back where I started.
