I think the brightness traditionally associated with Spiros for bowing is something we can appreciate on the really low strings that need all the help they can get to speak.

Great, that gives me an idea. Also, I have used a Superflexible E/C on a couple of Basses and an E (full set) on another. That String seems less noisy than does the Reds. I wonder if The SF 'B' might not also be a candidate!
