Turned out that these strings were too much for this new bass - while they sounded very good and seemed to pull a lot of sound from the rather "closed" sounding instrument, as it "opened up" over a month or so of constant playing the bass became very wolfy and uneven in its response. Switching to Original Flexocors helped, and ultimately Flexocor 92s gave more volume, slightly less overall tone produced but greatly reduced wolfiness and more even response.

I'll be interested to try these strings on some other basses now and see where they work well...
