Is the purpose of a hybrid string to be able to play well in an orchestra and a jazz band, just play arco and pizz?

Since I am not an orchestra bassist, it's either arco or pizz for me. I can't speak for orchestra players.
There are better bowing strings but, as a hybrid, Weichs bow well.

It's a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht, so play and enjoy.
