Strings strings strings... And pickup...

[Jason Mendelson]

I need some thoughts on strings...

Long story short, My upright has had the same strings on it for,,,, ohhh... say about 9 years! I havent really played the thing unfortunately much at all the last 5 years, just getting back into playing it again...

I have a low C extension (not the mechanical type)...

99% jazz finger pizz playing... so dont really need an easy arco string...

Whats the string to get these days?

I think I have spirocore vikes on them now... something like that...



And while we are on the subject... a good pickup... I used to use the Fishman (clipped on to the bridge between DG and EA strings), dont know where all the parts are...

I think the other pickup to get was the underwood?

Whats out there these days?
