The differences are quite striking in some cases, eg Velvets sounded darker than I expected. The Olivs sound nice but I really like the projection and sustain of the Spirocores

I'm getting sooo much GAS for a real double bass... grrr

Agreed on the Spirocores, there is a markable difference between the brands. A really useful post Clarky, cheers

Of course, they'll all sound different when you put them on your bass.
