On some basses, the Passione's might feel dead on the Pizz and not ring either on the bowing. If you bass has it, the string will duplicate it to a degree. If not, don't expect this string to give you some sound that's not in your bass.

I have had these on about 6 basses now. They work with the Bow as intended. I would not at all call this a Jazz string but then again, I have been satisfies with Flex 92s on 'my' basses for jazz and I only get compliments on my sound. Thanks really goes to the basses first as I do bring out the 'big guns' on just about every gig. Then, there's me and how you squeeze the sound out. Empathy is a good description as I play each bass slightly different accordingly!
