How do you see the Spiros being different than other string under the bow?
I typically find that when I bow spirocores, I get out what I put in, if that makes sense. It isn't really that they're difficult to bow, or that they take any particular technique; it's just that they take a little more focus. The benefit, IMO, is that on a decent bass, you really get a big palette of tone and dynamics to work with whereas other strings tend to bring their own sound and response to the party - and that can be good or bad depending on what you're playing and where you're playing it.
