Double Bass Bradetich's Strings

When I saw him play around 5 years ago, I thought I saw a spirocore E (with the extension on, which I think he said was a new addition), a D'addario orchestra A, and original flatchromes for his D and G strings. The D and G might have been eudoxas instead I'm not sure.

I didn't ask him, I just remembered seeing a bunch of different strings on his bass and thinking that was neat. He could likely have put anything on any bass and would have still sounded great.

Eudoxa...? ...He's a soloist
 
The strings that we know today as Original Flatchrome used to be called Eudoxa.

Nice reminder Jim. I really wish Pirastro would go ahead and re-name the Eudoxa Steel/Original Flexocores or the Flexocore '92s and the same with the Flat Chrome Steel and the Original Flat Chrome Steel. Its unnecessarily confusing....:(
