Pirastro-Evah Pirazzi

Do people here still have the love affair with Evah Pirazzi regulars going? Or is this string is sooo 2009?

The string is still good and I still buy them as I need. It really depends on the player, Orchestra, Jazz, etc. and what they like on their bass. Not all basses work as well with the same strings.

I have Evah regulars on my Sirleto now and they sound great so when I sell that bass, the strings might stay or go depending on the player and what he needs.

Most new strings make a big splash at first and then they go back to where they work best. Many people go back to the strings they liked on their bass before unless they were not happy to begin with and might need a change.

They are good strings and based on what you have heard or read, they are worth a try if you think they meet your requirements.

Guys, quick question for those who have tried soft and regular gauge.

Is the difference in gauge, Feel, thickness, really noticeable between both gauges?

I ask because I think my bass likes lighter gauges strings. It responds more openly, but I am wondering if it's worth the investment.
I have tried many strings, I do like these strings a lot. So I am not looking for any other brand, etc. I guess, the question is will my bass like them even more?

thank you.

The Weich gauge is lighter/less tension than the regular gauge. For pizz, you have to play them lighter or put them on a bass that the regulars feel too tight on.
