This post seems to sum things up nicely. The Spiro Starks work well on this bass, dark with a thick top, better than other strings I have tried. Plucked notes are very distinctive with a strong fundamental and well defined. Arco, the notes are deep, rich with strong overtones until I play a note the wrong way then I know for sure where I need improve.
