    45-100 tapewound set?

    Hi all, I’m lean in g towards trying some nylon tape wound strings in one of my p basses. I’ve been using 45-100 sets almost exclusively for a few years now, and would like to stick with that gauge so I don’t need to mess with nut slot widths at all. Trouble is, all the tape wound sets seem to...

    Tapewounds I didn't know of: from Mexico City, Eclipse Nylon Plano Color (yes, they come in colours!)

    Per thread title. FYI (it may be tricky to get them where you are; then again, it may be not if you're close to the border and in areas big on Mexican traditional music - or if you are in Mexico yourself), these guys exist, the Eclipse Bajo Electrico - Nylon Plano Color [ = flat nylon...

    Multiscale black nylon tapewound strings - Pyramid represent!

    Hi TalkBass. I hope you, the reader, are doing just fine and dandy during this hectic December time :) So, story time - Ages ago I had a fretless 5 string bass with Nylon Tapewound strings, which I liked very much. It had the Daddario ETB 92 strings on it with blue silks, and the bass was a NS...

    What is the lightest gauge possible for nylon flat wound low B?

    Hi all, I am new here and new to bass in general. So, please forgive the noobie question. I have an Ibanez TMB35 5 string shortie (30") and don't like the metallic sound of the stock strings. I read that the band Air used some sort of black plastic (nylon?) strings on Moon Safari and am hoping...

    Copper White tapes - first impressions

    Finally got these installed last night on my P and played for several hours. I was trying to solve three problems - reduce general clankiness, give the bass a unique identity, and find a string set that excels at being plucked near the bridge. Well it was a success all around those items. Looks...

    Could any experts help me identify this brand of strings?

    I've had these strings on my bass for a couple of years now, and I'd like to purchase a fresh set. I've inlcuded some photos. They're black flat wounds that have a coating on them, and the felts on either end are dark purple/black. Any help is greatly appreciated!
