Spriocore Weichs

[Ken Smith]

I just picked up another bass for stock and it had Spirocore Weichs on it, red/purple silks. At first I assumed they would not bow well but to my surprise, they bow on this bass as good as any other bowing string on average. My Bohemian bass which I use for jazz has the same strings on it but an older set, these new ones about a year old. The Bohemian bows great with Flexocors but not quite as smooth with the Thomastic weichs.

With the Spiro weichs on it, I can use it for Orchestra as well as jazz with the same set. The jazz sound is superb but it bows as good as the bass is.

I may just have to keep this bass for myself and set it up for personal use. hard to resist a bass that bows with Spiros.
