Hi

2 questions in 1 !!

anyone had any experience with these strings ?

The Gut-a-like are not too expensive, so was thinking of buying some just to try out at the same time i am going to buy some more 'traditional strings'.

I have been using spirocores for about 6 years, and i think its time for some new ones - my old bass teacher recommended the 'jazzer' from Pirastro - any experience with these also?

Would love to hear some comments !!

thanks

Richard.

Hi Richard!

The Gut-a-like E string has very low tension and sounds very weak on most basses, only recommended if the bass is amplified.

"The Jazzer" are very fine strings for pizzicato, I think a little better ("fantastic growl") than Spirocore mittel/medium on most basses and they seem to be the strings with the longest sustain on the market.
