    Double Bass new strings for dark bass

    Ok, thank you all very much for the outstanding help! I'm going to try the Evah Pirazzi and see how it ultimately feels, but in the end the Spirocores will certainly be tried on the bottom two, and if the EP is not what I'm looking for at all then I'm going with the permanents, at this point.
