Yes, exactly.
Sorry about that, I seem to get more dyslexic about the names of things with every passing week.
The crossovers sounded more lively harmonically. Lower tension, so a little easier on the fingers. I had wondered if they would work as well as the Trads arco, but had no problem drawing a clean note from them. That's saying something, as I'm not very accomplished with a bow.
Some people have apparently had problems with the G strings breaking as they are brought up to pitch. I had no problems that way, but I was forewarned, and was careful to a.) make sure the back side of the nut slots were gently rounded over, and b.) used some nut sauce to make sure that the windings didn't hang up in the nut. I didn't fiddle around with bringing them up to pitch slowly-just put 'em on, tuned 'em up, and bam, thank you ma'm.
I can't tell you much more about them than that. Unfortunately, I put them on just before succumbing to a 7-month bout of sciatica that laid me flat on my face. I'm just now getting over it, and had to sell the bass to cover my medical costs. As a result, I never got to gig them out.
