    Double Bass Evah Pirazzi strings megathread part II

    I've just swapped my expensive tempramental gut and silver Eudoxa's for some low tension Evah Pirazzi's - wow! Why didn't I change them sooner? - the E sounds great, deep & full with a real bite. If you are wondering I've got them on a Bryant 2005 Panormo swell back bass. They were nice...

    Double Bass Contrabass Shoppe Workshop Bass / Bass Luthiers

    I went to see Bryant last week (I have a 2005 Panormo of his) he is looking to wind down, but he'd probably take an order (and take his time over it) - the bass would have to be flat back too.
