Which G for bumped spiros?

[fatback]

Hi all,

Going to try bumping my Spirocore weichs. Any thoughts about which string might work best for the G?

Would Spirocore C weich be too light? What about the medium C? Corelli?

Thanks for your thoughts.

The Oliv G string is a very popular and useful companion to the weichs. I use them with mine and they match very well.
I have a lightly used Oliv G i could sell if your interested?

i use a Lambert deluxe D&G with bumped Spiro A&E, the tension is very even with that combo and the tone is very even too

Thanks for your replies, guys. I'll do some thinking about this.

Just curious but what do you mean by "bumping"?

Using an A as a E and a D as an A etc, hopefully making steel strings a bit easier on the fingers. I swear the fingers of my right hand are an inch shorter than they were.

Yes I get you. Gone back to Spiros recently myself. Just done a weekend of 4 gigs in a row and both hands know it.
I use Mittels with a stark E and was considering Weich's on the D and G. Keep us posted on your progress.
