Some strings that I tried out that weren’t quite right for my basses.
Set 1 is a like new set of Evah Pirazzi Slaps (pirastro golden slaps). These play great and are easy on the fingers, but were a little low tension for my taste on my bass. They were only on my bass for a week. I bought...

Just wondering what peoples' thoughts are on the best orchestra extension string. Looking for something with enough tension so as to not give way under the bow, but also starts very easily.
I've used belcanto which i like for the tension but is a bit 'non' sounding, flex deluxe which is a bit...

Hardly used. Going through some string hunting and the top 3 were on my bass for about 3 weeks. Extended string got some further use but is still very fresh. Maybe an extra 1.5 weeks.

Currently I use EP GD and Obligato AE strings, for pizzicato, the EP AE really doesn’t works on my bass, but I like the Oblis AE…
