Have you ever used Velvet 180's? If so do you know how they compare the Eurosonic Orchestra strings? I need to bow and pizz, but I love the gut like sound without being gut. I only have one bass so I need multi-purpose strings that will be good for a orchestra, but definitely suit my needs for jazz being my main gig. I am a big fan of Velvets, but I am very curious about the Eurosonic Orch. strings. Do you have any input or suggestions?

Thanks,

I tried them a few years ago. The package had 3 copper colored strings and a silver one on the. Was not at all what I was looking for back then. Afterwards, I went back to Pirastros that I had been using..
