NS Design CR4-M EUB replacement strings

[daniele]

Hi everybody,
I'd like to try some new strings on my EUB, I play jazz fusion on it so I'd occasionally need to bow them.
What strings should I try in your opinion to get a fat acoustic DB sound preserving the opportunity to use the arc on them?

Thanks a lot for your answer,
Daniele from Italy

Any DB string should do for CR4Ms as long as they have a steel core. Without that they won't work with the mag pups. Helicore Hybrids, Helicore Orchestral, Pirastro Flexocors, and Pirastro Obligatos seem to have been used a lot.

EDIT: Strike the Obligatos unless you don't want to use the mag pups. They have a synthetic core.
