Belcantos for Jazz?

[Scott Pope]

My CCB ply is really growly on its own, so the darker Bels have been really good for the pizz gigs I've been doing lately: Celtic-trad acoustic jams and "standards" jazz/dance band gigs for the military unit reunion gigs, through a Fishman Full Circle to a small amp. My bass can't take full advantage of the fundamental nature of the Bel E string, however, and I've changed it out for a Spiro 3885.5W 3/4 E string, which blends really well in all ways on my bass: tone, tension, feel, etc., with the Bels ADG.
