Yes, we have some quotes and images on our blog related to that topic
in the interview with M. Peruffo regarding these loaded strings.
Check it out here:

Let's take a look at [2]Harmonie universelle, contenant la thà ©orie
et
la pratique de la musique, written by Marin Mersenne and published in
Paris in 1636. It represented the sum of musical knowledge during his
lifetime (available [3]at gallica).
Here, Mersenne give us some clues about the sound of the bass
strings:
* D'abondant l'on experimente que les airs des Balets & des Violons
existent dauantage à raison de leur gayetà © qui vient de la
promptitude de leurs
movements, ou de leurs sons aigus, que les airs que l'on jouà ©
sur le Luth, ou sur les basses de Violes, lesquels sont pour
l'ordinaire plus graves & plus languissans .
* Quant au nombre des retours de chaque chorde, il est tres-grand
auant qu'elle se repose, car il est certain qu elle sc meut
tousiours tandis que Ton en oyt le son, à ´c que le son des
grosses
chordes de Luth est apperceu de Toreille durant la sixiesme
partie,
ou le tiers d'vne minute , c'est à dire pendant que Tartere du
poux d'vn homme sain, à ´c Ãà ns à ©motion bat dix, ou vingt
fois: de
sorte qu'il ne reste qu'Ã remarquer combien de fois la chorde
bat
Tair dans vne seconde minute, pour sà §auoir combien elle le
frappe
auant que de se repose

I was being lazy. He doesn't mention seconds, rather heart
beats,
if I
remember correctly. Hopefully someone can supply the original.

Hi Rob,
What exactly is the quote in Mersenne about the 20 second
sustain?
Although my French is very poor, I've attempted to find it to
no
avail.

Here's a very short video comparing the sustain time of a new
Aquila
Loaded Nylgut string and a Savarez copper-wound nylon-silk
core
bass
string.
[1][4][7][6]https://youtu.be/8FVJMk_Xjv0
My ears hear better than the microphone, and the useable
sustain on
the
Aquila string is 4 seconds, while the Savarez is a long 8
seconds.
With the Savarez, you will be required to stop pretty much
every note
you play in the bass. With the Aquila, less so.
The Aquila do remind me of gut basses. I used to have an 11c
completely
strung in gut, and these loaded nylgut strings are very, very
close.
On the other hand...Mersenne says his basses sustain for
almost
20
seconds!!!
I'll stick with the Aquila.
