Oliv: A while back I had an Oliv G with EP regulars and it matched very well. Anyone got any long term observations of EP and Spiros mixes? I tried putting the D on as well and it sounded pretty horrible imo. I was also very aware however that the 6 month old EPs sounded pretty dull and indistinct compared to the Spiros. I tried putting the EP (weich) G on my new bass when I first got it and I felt it had a good mellowing effect. I've played a bass with Spiros and an Anima G in the past and at the time, wasn't too keen on the Anima's feel though I remember the set sounded great.Įvah Pirazzi: As mentioned above, I have comprehensive experience of the EPs and liked them a lot on my old bass. I've heard also the merits of a matched set of Velvets, but they are expensive strings, aren't known for lasting a long time and potentially unbowable. Spiro G: The set is still fairly new, I've heard the Spiros need a fair bit of wearing in, so could I have my perfect mellow Spiro G in 6 months time? This is also obviously the cheapest option.Īnima/Garbo G: It seems every jazz bassist in Britain (and quite possibly in the US) inspired by messrs Grenadier and Street, end up going through a Spiros mixed with Velvets phase.

I've thought through a few of the different options already, feel free to offer your observations. So before I go crazy and start experimenting like a mad professor I'd like some thoughts. The sound is glorious pizz and arco but I find myself wanting a bit more 'puff' on the G string. I have been a long-time Evah Pirazzi (reg and weich) on my old ply bass but have recently upgraded to a fully carved instrument and it has spiros (meds) on it. Yes I know there have been a number of threads on a similar subject in the past but nothing particularly recently.
