timbo1978 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi, did you ever find a set? I'm having some trouble with sore left hand/forearm when playing at longer gigs and was considering these to help 'lighten the load' . But equally don't want to loose too much volume or depth to my sound. Any feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah thomas Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've recently had a set of Spirocore Weich fitted and the action lowered. Playing is easier now. It's difficult to say about depth and volume because I find that the way I stand, how I support the bass and how relaxed I am all have an impact on the sound. I'm very pleased with the new strings. Why not let a luthier have a look at it? The advice I received from two different people was invaluable and freely given. Strings fitted, action lowered, bridge reshaped, emergent cracks filled, (hot hide glue), buzzes eliminated and fingerboard given a new coat of something black - £70.

timbo1978 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi Sarah, Have had a new bridge fitted to improve the action so the strings will hopefully be the cherry on the cake. Have been doing 4 hour gigs at my loocal market and finding it a real strain on my arms/hands. Plenty of good advice out there as you say - have been looking into posture etc too :-) Didn't realise spirocore did light gauge - will checck them out!
