I dont really like the strings on my DB but i have no idea what they are.[/quote] I see from your profile that you haven't been playing DB very long. In that case I think spiro may not be the right string for you. In many basses they tend to be quite scratchy and unforgiving of weak technique. That being said they are a great string for jazz and general pizz playing and very hard wearing. There are other hybrid strings that might suit you better at this stage of your playing.
