Thumbs up well..

I just put the exact set that was on that English bass above. I took them off because that bass is getting a C-extension and different strings by a customers request. Just yesterday I took the Guts off the Pollmann and put the 'used' Euro.Orchestra strings on it and wow, it sounds better than I recall it sounding with the Flex 92s I had on it originally. Last night I did an Orchestra rehearsal and took out the Pollmann. I don't recall ever being so loud in that hall. The G and D sound great bowed or pizz'd and the A and E have some 'bite' to them. They don't make an Extension set and will not due to the machine length they have but if you want a good 4-string set and fairly priced, these are worth the try.
