    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...

    Which LaBella TAPES are right for me?

    Searching for the right strings. Playing in a jazz/funk trio - guitar/bass/drums. Half of our songs are 'traditional' jazz covers (ex: Footprints), the other half are funky covers/originals (ex: Medeski, Martin, & Wood) Currently, playing an LB-100 with LaBella DTFs. It sounds amazing on the...

    String Journey - roundwound lover looking for a flat

    I've been on a string journey with my defretted SBMM short scale Stingray. My string of choice has been the Stringjoy roundwound but the fingerboard on the SBMM looked as if the roundwounds were going to do a number on it pretty quickly. So I started down the flatwound rabbithole. Remember...

    Anyone else collect old instructional tapes?

    For the past couple of years, I've been on the hunt for super rare, or just plain old hard to find, instructional tapes. Found some killer ones in the wild, searching through bins of old tapes at thrift shops and flea markets, and found some really awesome ones on Ebay. I'm kind of a VHS fiend...

    Nylon Tapewounds with Black Silk Wraps

    Hey everyone! Haven't posted on the site in awhile. I have been sort of reconsidering my gear lately and have been searching around here for answers. I bought a really cool Yamaha BEX4 a few months ago - a really great hollow body bass with a piezo pickup in the bridge. It came with a set of...

    What are some flats/tapes that'll last for a while?

    I plan to put them on a Precision bass in the distant future, I just need something smooth on the frets and on the fingers (I am physically incapable of growing calluses on my hands). Rolled-off tone in mind. And by "last", I mean "maintain the properties that make it create sound".

    Gradual Transition?

    I've never really used flats, maybe 20min of total experience out of my 14 years, & tbh, due to memory loss, I'm not even sure about that number. I've been playing fretless bass exclusively for about 5 years, but prefer roundwound hex core brightness for my styles. Now I have a couple extra...
