My bass likes these string a LOT.
It really does make me want to keep playing.
I had a problem on the E string when playing low F# through A (on both Spiro Weichs, Mittels, and Obligatos). It was like those notes had a wet towel over them. I think maybe the slightly higher tension has helped with this.
I can't get the E or A to rattle (without pulling it like I'm shooting an arrow). My string length is right at 42", if that helps. And I'm at 7-8 mm off the fingerboard (at the end) with the E string (6 mm on the G).
I can make the G string rattle with strong bowing, but I'm sure that's a technique issue. It would happen on any of the three sets of strings when bowing it like it was the E or A string. (I assume that the G would always require a slightly lighter touch)
