These strings work great! I was looking for something with a nice full tone but with a little more brightness than traditional flatwounds for my fretless bass, and these definitely do that. Plus they look stunning on an all black bass, it looks as if I'm simply summoning notes from the vicinity of my bass.
I'm using these on my Carvin AC40 fretless bass, and I must say I'm very impressed. They are very warm sounding and have just the right feel -- not too much tension -- great for fingerstyle, and, of course, very fretboard friendly. I've used nylon tapewounds by Fender and Labella and these just feel and sound better to me. Very expressive and well balanced. If you want to bring an acoustic sound to your fretless , this is a great choice.
I've always liked these. They sound great on my 1967 Hagstrom B2 for my style. They sound more "acoustic" and they're very easy on the fingers. If you're looking for a bright sound, these aren't for you. No local place around here has them in stock.
GREAT STRINGS. USING THEM ON ACOUSTIC BASS PLAYING CHORDS AND CLASSICAL MUSIC AS A BREAK FROM MY JAZZ.
Good quality strings for the price.
These strings sound great on my acoustic electric basses. Very thumpy and warm. I play mostly jazz so this sound is just what I need to play standards. Not exactly an upright-bass sound but certainly adequate for most gigs. I continue to get compliments from players and listeners on my bass sound. Acoustic Image amp, Boulder Creek fretless acoustic electric bass, and Daddario Black Nylon Tapewound strings!
On my 79 Gretsch Committee Bass these strings make this old electric bass sound almost as good as an upright with plenty of depth on the hi & low end & everything in between.
