I play about 70% pizz. I really like the pizz sound of them on my bass, I haven't tried them on my EUB yet. No, I don't find them muddy at and the E&A are very clear, I have a hard time describing the tone other then melodic and round. One thing is that these strings are dynamic sensitive, so if you play down by the bridge you can get a punchy jazz sound, up on the fingerboard and with a more "classical" pizz technique and it's straight up cuba time. It did take me a while to get use to the volume thing that comes with using a darkish arco string for pizz, which is you might not think you are very loud right up on the bass but step back 8-10 steps and it's very different story. I can also still pizz harmonics too with these strings, granted the harmonics aren't as loud as with Corellis, supperflexables or Spiros, but I can still get them out.
You say they are too muddy, this is on EUB right? Is this only when plugged in or are they too muddy unplugged as well?
