Double Bass Flexocor Deluxe LIGHT - anyone interested?

[elmer]

I think Flexocor Dlx is a great arco string and also a good hybrid choice. But on my 110cm scale bass they are feeling too stiff for jazz pizz. I asked Pirastro if they have any plans making a weich version. This is what they answered:

"Thank you for your email and your interest in our double bass Flexocor Deluxe strings in a "weich" version.

Could you please give us a round figure of how many bass players would prefer such a string?

We are looking forward to receiving your reply."

Kind regards,

You should send them a link to this thread as well as this one: Alternative to Flexocor Deluxe?

The main complaint is them being too stiff

Gladly. How do I do that?

I'd be interested.

I don't know about a smaller gauge, the regulars feel thinner than spiros or Evahs.

It's more about the tightness. Would be nice if they had more elasticity, a little more give.

 

[elmer]

Yes, I can send them links to these threads. Thanks guys!

I ment Elmer could email back and say "these people on talkbass would use them"

 

[SamuelHarris]

YES PLEASE!

 

[SamuelHarris]

And I agree not thinner in gauge, just lighter in feel. Maybe it'll get a new brand name.

Flexocor Premium

 

[BassinCT]
