Independent shopping perspective
Black Nylon Tape Wound strings give a six-string bass a smooth black-nylon outer wrap and a warm, deep vintage-toned voice with long sustain. They are especially suited to fretless bass, while also being intended for acoustic bass guitars and fretted electric bass. The long-scale set needs deliberate installation: keep the non-silk portion away from the tuning post and trim only within the silk to prevent unraveling.
