    What's with Black Diamond Black Coated Nickel Strings

    So I play in a metal band and use both a 5 string fretted and 6 string fretless bass.

This was fine at first but...

    Coated roundwounds. What are they?

    I’ve used DR’s black beauties for over a year now. I know they’re roundwounds, right? Now maybe I haven’t done enough research or I’m naïve, but do they share similar qualities to that of tapewounds? DR Strings | The Handmade String - Guitar and Bass
