I guess I should update my string set-up. I had a brief disillusionment with the Oliv strings after my G started to unwind. I went back to my old set-up of Spiro Weichs on the bottom and Dominants up top. Problem is, after using Olivs no other G&D compare, the Doms sounded all twangy and too bright. So I coughed up the bread and replaced my Oliv G and put them back on the bass with the Spiro weich E&A. I'm really liking this set-up, Ive never been a big fan of Obligatos they're a little twangy to my ear. I recently read a report of Spiro middle E&A with Oliv G&D and now the wheels are turning. Man, I have Uncletoad syndrome.
