The "zing" on the Spiro G is something I kept hoping would go away, but I've played the string for about 10 months. It's part of the package.
Have any of you Spiro users tried the Superflexibles set or 'G' to fix any of the problems mentioned here with the brightness of the Spiros? I have a set now on my Batchelder and it is a tad less 'zingy' but still pleanty of growl. Kinda has more fundamental. I have used Spiros and Obligatos on that same Bass and for Jazz, these SFs seem right in the middle.
