750C-B Deep Talkin' Bass Copper White Nylon Tapewound Bass Guitar Strings - .050-.135 Light 5-string Review

Love the Tapewounds

I had a set of Labella golds (same as these but "gold" instead of copper). But they just didn't have the grunt, growl and depth I wanted on one of my basses. These coppers fixed that. Very nice. This one is fretless I should probably mention. The golds sounded very good on my other bass, (fretted, different neck woods too) so I may have to try these copper tapewounds on it too.… read more Maybe it's a bigger beast than I know?! I didn't realize how different sounding the two types of strings would be. I had to try something though. I guess that is why there are so many options out there. Never know 'til we try. Also, my fingers have been a problem for years (way before I took up a stringed instrument). Labella's tapewound series of strings are a Godsend for my issues with painful splitting of my finger tips. Effortless playing. Also I think it is much better on the fingerboard of by fretless. Very satisfied.

Punch to the fretless

These strings have a lighter and clear bottom end and the top end is bright and has some growl. This is exactly what i was looking for in my fretless. Less mud and more clarity. Really like them.

La Bella Bass Strings

The smoothest sounding bass strings I've ever owned. We'll hear how they sound in six months. Time will tell.

Exactly What I Nedded

I got these Copper Nylon strings for a 5-string bass I'm transforming into a steampunk bass. The color of these strings is a perfect fit for the copper and brass 1890s science fiction genre of the project. An added advantage is that tape-wound strings are easier on the fret board whether it's fretted or fretless. These will enhance the overall look of the bass while giving it… read more a nice, smooth tone. They're noticeably easier on the fingers, too. Actually, I have two basses for the steampunk re-do. The other is a 6-string, which will get the second set I bought. This set is for tuning B-E-A-D-G. The 6-string bass will get a set of these strings plus a .145 string for F# on the low end. It'll look kind of weird, but it will have the voice range I want. Thank you, Sweetwater, for helping me make my weird-o projects true to my visions.
