    What is your favorite G string that does it all with your worn-in medium Spirocores?

    Thanks!

    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.

    I tried that and I know what you mean.

    The spiro G is sitting there wondering why it's not on the bass with its brothers.

    because it's a great arco string that also works great for pizz?

    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.
