Double Bass Greetings the slap happy weed wackers strings

well greetings, have any of you tried the slap-happy weed wacker strings.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I am going to tell you I love them, not can I do the typical rockabilly bluegrass slap doghouse bass lines with them. I also enjoy play jazz walking bass with them to get the real bass sound, unlike the steel strings I had on my upright bass. also since I am trained with the bow from my day when I was working my music degree in college, these strings are awesome with tone and pitch with the bow. I never saw that with any other nylon strings for the bass within the price range of these strings and the quality of the strings is way suburb. I am looking for my next gig, the reason I went with these strings to save my hands from pain in my hands and now I enjoy playing the bass again.
