Helicore orchestra heavy

[Thomas Erickson]

Put a set of these on a new bass and have been playing it for a couple of days. At first I wasn't digging them at all - they just scratched and squawked under the bow and were disagreeable to my left hand because they just wouldn't get moving. After having played them for about six or eight hours though I think I may have found (another) new favorite string - they've settled in very nicely and while they are still thick, stiff strings that take some effort to dig into, they really pull a rich, dark sound out of the bass and put a lot of energy back into my hands, which I like -

Anybody else want to comment on these strings?
