Spirocore/Evah Pirazzi string hybrid?

In all seriousness - play the Spiros until they really break in. They will darken continually over time. Weichs (S42W) would be worth a shot to see if they respond better on your bass or sound better to you after the initial break in.

 

Well, OP called them his "trusty Spiro mediums" ... implying to me that they were broken in.

Superflexibles, broken in, might fit the bill.

 

Zyex maybe?

 

Good point. If the OPs reference point is a well-used set of Spiros, perhaps SFs would be a good set to try.

 

A newer set of EP mediums helps with that all as well. They die ugly in my experience.

 

Temperas by Gerold Genssler. They´ve now settled down on my bass after 5 weeks and they really seem to check all the boxes of arco/pizz/clear/deep/tension/hybrid. I´m impressed.

 

almost there with the Perpetuals but they are a bright string on some basses (mine specifically). But i think they're a good mix between evahs and sprios. For years I would switch between spiro mediums and evah weich until the perpetuals came out and found them to be perfect for my needs.

 

Yes, Superflexibles!

 

This thread is not helping my string choice.... My gas is easily Influenced.

 

Seconded. They are slightly brighter EP's pretty much.

 

And you expected ...?

 

You can find lots of info in another thread: So Gerold’s cooking up something new...

 

I was hoping that I would be happy with my choices... I never am.
