Evah Pirazzi double bass string, G Orchestra tuning. Professional, synthetic core hybrid string. 2 gauges.
Professional
Mellow string.
Pros: I’ve played Evan’s for years now but this is the first time I’ve tried the ‘weich’ softer ones. They are noticeably softer. The plus side which I’ve been exploring and enjoying is the more mellow tone a softer string can provide. I have had to adjust the weight on the bow though as they don’t provide the same resistance as the strong gauge. Also when pizz I have to be careful to make sure they don’t rattle.
Cons: None
Professional
A good string
Pros: An alternative G to the whine you can easily get on some basses with the thomastik Spirocore Wiech. Better than the orchestral Evah Pirazzi with regard to tension and reaction time. A rounder sound that blends well with light metal strings. Seems to bow well.
Cons: Not quite as punchy as the spiro core weich

High quality bass string- but not perfect!
Pros: Very little 'turning' of the string before it speaks, very warm core sound
Cons: Lacks extreme dynamics (ppp and fff), fast loud passages feel a little sluggish
Other: Very fast delivery to Ireland thanks to Stringzone!
