My Man, it is a good hybrid string. It's just that, by definition, one application will probably be a bit stronger than the other.
I use Weichs for pizz and bowing, but no longer on my main bass. I accept that there is always a compromise and, as Ken would probably add, no two basses are really the same.
Well, since we're quoting, here's one from José Ortega y Gasset:
"There are people who so arrange their lives that they feed themselves only on side dishes."
Hey, use what works best for your purposes.
