Favorite G string w/ your Spiros

Obligato right now

 

Original Flexocor.

 

spirocore medium

 

there's also this: Spirocore G alternatives

 

Oliv. Love it.

 

I'm using an Oliv G with pirazzi D and A with Spiro E. gut - hybrid - steel

 

Spiro. I've got an EP Mittel G on there now, and as much as it adds to the set, it's just missing something.

 

Belcanto

 

Still looking...

 

Yes. I don't use the bow much but others have said the Oliv and pirazzi strings work great with arco

 

Maybe try a Dominant. That what a few people use as spiro alternatives. Some people use the Dominant G because its the closest thing to a spirocore in the synthetic world (from what i've gathered).

I liked it and honestly it felt natural with the set but I didn't like it enough to get a full set of dominants....i think. I'll go back in my records and see.

 

It's brighter.
The Flat-Chromesteel G is even more bright.
The Jazzer is another bright G string from Pirastro that could pair well with Spirocores.

 

Velvet Anima G
Great match

 

Until it breaks.

 

I've tried many and think Obli was the most successful

 

I'm using the G and D because they feel like Spirocores but have more meat to the note. I always thought the Spirocore G and D sounded nasal and buzzy.

Compared to Spirocore:
Oliv G: Larger diameter, tuning issues, bigger tone
Evah (Weich or Medium): more elastic and lacking the immediate note.
I have the EP Weich atop Spirocore reds on my Kay and they are nice enough.

I think a Superflexible G is a good option.

The Zyex G is good too.

It really depends on the particular bass.
