Over the weekend I put a set of Spiro Weichs on my little French solo bass. The bass had been feeling a little tight, so I installed the Weich E and A, which I had around. There was an immediate improvement in the tone of the bass, so I ran out and picked up a new D and G (the E and A had been installed before, but were still new) and installed them right away. They're still a little rowdy, but the bass is very happy under lower tension. The response and tone pizz and with the bow are much friendlier than the Mittel/Permanent mix they replaced.
