Cool Does this make sense?

Yes, 100%. Many strings have multiple purposes for various music styles. On the other hand, some strings work better on some Basses or with different players. Usually it's the Bass/String match. Bows help too in that area as some Bows just work better, period.

The sections are now up and running.
