If your strings ARE Spirocore Weich (red bottom, purple top), why not just leave them on? I doubt they are toast yet. Do you like them? They are a good string for pizz, and easier on your hands as you become reacquainted with your instrument.
Your pickup can be bettered by many. Google is your friend. |

They are red and purple...
![]() They may sound a little dull, but it could just be the bass is waking up again... to give an idea of what it sounds like now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51sXrLnvYxE I think a new set of Weichs is in order then.

Buy a new set if you must, but I think it sounds great. My $.02: If the windings are good, leave 'em. Spirocores are the Energizer bunny of strings. I'll bet a new set won't be any different after a few weeks. If you're intent on new strings, send me a pm and we'll set a price for your old ones. I can use a set.

The windings are all still good. not rough or anything,
When I was playing a lot, I used to change them every 6 months... so never really had a set on this long, let alone YEARS, but its also been so long I dont really remember what it was like to play them when they were new verse 6 months... Maybe ill keep them on for a while but get a nother set to carry around till these die... Do need a pickup though...

I like either a Realist (natural, woody) or a Full Circle (similar, but more string sound and volume before feedback). An Underwood can be good if you are used to hearing more string sound, but I think they make a DB sound like a fretless slab.

My Underwood sounds great! I've just bought a second one for my new bass.
