 Listen to the difference for yourself. They "brighten up"

I too have always twisted new bass strings for the same reasons and with the
same results.
However, what about *schraffed* bass strings. They supposedly do not require
twisting and I have not as yet tried this type of string.  What are your
thoughts and experiences,anyone?
