SOLD labella black nylon tapewound strings

[john_the_bass]

taken off the bitsa bass - had about two hours play by me and look to be about new - luke and bassbod have also owned this although i don't know how much play they had
they're quite heavy - something like 60 - 115, but low tension and feel very smooth.

looking for 15 quid by paypal to pay for the part worn flats i'll be replacing

these aren't completely plastic by the way - these are:
[quote name='labella website']Re-designed for improved tone, sustain and longevity, these
stainless steel wound strings have an outer wrapping of black
nylon tape. The smooth Black Nylon Tape Wound strings are
recommended for fretless electric basses. Their warm string-bass
tone sounds great on all acoustic bass guitars.[/quote]

I hasten to add they sound nice on a fretted, solid body bass as well!
guages are 60, 70, 94 and 115

Just a note to say these are great strings for anyone who's interested BUT I'd make sure you're able to adjust your bass neck to accomodate them. I saw one 62' reissue terrbily warped by prolonged exposure to these bad boys!

my reason for taking these off and parting with them is that i thought the tension was actually quite loose - which is what i didn't like about them.
they are definitely heavy though

now on my Squier VMJ... sounds really good... heck of a lot easier tension wise than the Rotosound SM77s they replaced... easier to play as well...

cheers

I loved 'em - just as well cause they weren't cheap. If only they did a medium scale set I'd put them on the Clifton Cherry bass. I also tried the roto tru-bass - ok, but the intonation is a bit weird, and the Status version - really nice, standard gauages and very lively for a coated string.

Never got to the Pyramid or Galli versions....
