Location: San Bernardino, California | Some of the companies that built acoustic basses use nylon tape wound strings.
I believe that Rotosound, Fender & Carvin (maybe Thomas-Infeld?) make them.
D'addario makes some half-round strings. They sound O.K. to me, but take some getting used to.
Sound-wise the tapewound give a sound that's fairly mellow, half-rounds are brighter than flatwounds and a have lot less string noise than regular round-wound. |
