Hi all,
So, I've got this Wilfer that was custom made for me in '99. It's a great bass, nice and clean, great feel, deeper ribs for a super-bass sound. Here's the thing, though: I need a higher tension string to make this girl speak.
Rather than list off all the strings I've tried, let me do it like this: I love the feel of Corelli strings, and have used 370M and 370F. After a while, they got a bit too tinny-sounding for me. I now have Pirastro Flat Chromesteel, and I do really like their feel, but they are just a bit too dark after about 10 months of playing.
Due to some confusion, let me revise this description: after checking my bank statement, these strings were used for 9 months, and rather than "dark," I should have said "quiet." The point is that my bass just needs to be strung more tightly in order the get the dang thing to speak 
So, is there something out there that has a similar feel to these types (that smooth, easy-on-the-fingers feel), has a slightly higher tension? I haven't tried Corelli 370TX's yet, and may go that route, but am up for suggestions
Whatever they are, they'll have to do the good old double-duty: strong sound and responsive with a bow, but should have a pretty good sustain with pizz.
Thanks for your help all!
