A friend of mine always had this problem of his (pretty good Chech) bass sounding choked, so he gave the Evah Weichs a try. He loved the way the bass sounded afterwards. But, he couldn't cope with them for high solo passages. Didn't deliver the goods, apparently; not enough carrying power or response. It may of course be a question of playing technique, but after a couple of months he changed back to Perm G and D and was all happy again. So, maybe they are better suited for orchestral playing than solo..? The Bels that I have on work all around, but they also have a different feel in thumb pos than your 'average' steel string such as the Flexos I had before. Anyways, I think my next orchestra set is going to be Evah Weich. Unless somebody has talked me into something else by then, which, come to think of it, is kind of likely.
