Evah Pirazzi Weichs (also good for jazz)

Spiro weichs are light strings too. I would have some of the same problems with them on the tension if they were too loose for the bass they are on. Tighter strings have a quicker response. Lighter strings need to be played lighter or otherwise, you will be over playing them and waiting for the string to bounce back for the next note in pizz. This kind of overplaying is not good for the fingers, or the music!

Very true.
That said, I think the pizz response is better that the spiro weichs, by a bit, for quick playing and much better than the BCs (yes, I know they're a bowing string). I actually like bowing the EP weichs more than the BCs.

At the moment I'm sold on these strings too.
As we say back home اللي مايطول العنب ,حامض عنه يقول - "When someone doesn’t reach the grapes, that person says that they are sour".
In my humble opinion these are a very good and versatile string.

I still love the EP weichs.
