Nice silky strings
LeonardS 19.05.2019
I am a Thomastik JF-344 fan, but wanted to try something else for my fretted Bass. These strings have low tension so very comfortable to play and the sound is very warm (deep) indeed. I was surprised by the overall results on this bass and will keep those going forward. Compared to steel strings this bass has now a completely different character. As the sound is darker en dryer I did also some recording tests and they succeeded in this situation as well. I did not have to change the setup of the bass due to the low tension but can imagine that this could happen for others. The low E and A are at the ball end thicker than standard steel strings so one has to push harder to get them properly set in the bridge. All in all I love them.

Black Magic Bass

These strings play so smooth and deep and still they are very articulate, and as a bonus they look so good on my bass with all black hardware! My new favorites, coming from TI flats...

My first tapewounds
Nikos Kotsalis 22.01.2025
The quality of the strings is excellent.
I had no problems installing them and tuning them.
I had to raise the action from the bridge and create a bow to the neck because of the "fretting" rattling noise
I play fretless with flats so I wanted to try their characteristic sound.
I am not impressed from the sound, actually I don't like it, too thin and plastic for me.
Going back to my flats.
I'll try them to my acustic bass as well and I will post more details

Maybe good but not for me
Kostas76 31.01.2021
Well what can I say, based on the videos I was expecting more of a double bass sound out of those, but they only sound weak and muffled to me. But then again, I m not at all experienced with this kind of tapewound strings.
