Changing Strings

I'm considering trying new strings for the first time since I got my bass. I was wondering if you change metal strings for different metal strings, do you have to get another set up or do any kind of work to your bass? I want to go from Spiro Mediums to Evahs Pirrazis.

Put em on your bass and see what happens. If something sucks, take it to a luthier. You should be fine.

Only trouble you might have is if the slots in the nut or bridge aren't wide enough. Otherwise, it should be fine.
