Arledge Bass strings

List
   Speaking of strings, I've had the pleasure now of  using  about 6 sets of 
the Arledge strings  & I like them very  much. I like the neatness of the  
wraps etc. But as much as this I find the  tone color of the scaling a bit darker 
 thru  out but I find it  especially refreshing in the top of the bass scales 
where typically many makers  get a bit thin & whiny sounding which I believe 
is a tension  problem.
    I haven't checked but I'd guess at a bit  heavier scaling being employed 
which, in my limited scaling experience  gives a darker tone with more power.
  IE the Old 1920's  stwy L scale in the region of  notes 20 - 26 were scaled 
toward the 70% of breaking strength & they sounded  awesome. When on occasion 
I have replaced sets where the tension was reduced in  this area the tone 
suffers greatly. ON having it corrected the tone came  back. I'm not finding this 
weakness in  the Arledge strings at  present.
  I'm interested in any ones feedback be it objective or  subjective.
   Cheers
