tension: spiro mittel or weich compared to anima.

i have on my bass, Oliv g and d strings, i like them.

for the A and E i have Animas now.
I'm thinking about changing them to some spirocore's.

can anyone tell me:
1. If the Weich will be more or less tension than the Animas?
2. Are the Weich's noticeably darker than the Mittel's?


I'm also thinking about a Mittel E with a Weich A.
I'm not planning on lowering my string height so it is med/high...i like to pull the string hard.
I play mostly Pizz.

I have Oliv D & G on my bass and find the Spiro Mittels to be a very satisfying A & E with them.

Both mittels and weichs will probably be a little higher tension than Animas. YMMV.
