EssentialTension Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Not actually white but clear. [b] 760T White Nylon Tape Wound, Standard 60-115[/b] As the originators of the Black Nylon Tape Wound bass set, La Bella introduces the 760T set. Unlike the classic 760N set, the White Nylon Tape Wound 760T set is made with a transparent nylon wrapped over stainless steel underlays. The result is a brighter and even smoother finish, allowing players to effortlessly glide from note to note. The 760T set is extremely versatile and can be used for electric, fretless and acoustic basses. Available for purchase at your favorite online retailer, local store and La Bella dealer!

Tankdave Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It's a step in the right direction but how about some "actual" coloured ones then LaBella? Bagsy the first rainbow set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have a set for my Veillette incoming in a couple of weeks. Eric at La Bella says tension is the same as the black nylons, but the whites are "faster" and "brighter". I'll do an A/B recording and will report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Are they coming to you direct from La Bella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yes, they are a custom length so need to be a special order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 OK, let us know how they are. I might try them on my Takamine B10 which also needs order direct from La Bella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Veillette sets will be 38.75" long. [/quote] A-D-G are standard long scale but the E string needs the extra long version which, even for the 760N black ones, are difficult to find in Europe. I got them direct from La Bella last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Would a string the same length as the ones I need do for you? If so, I could ask them to run off an extra E string and package up a third set (with the other three at regular length) for you?

Where is the 38.75" measurement? Is it silk to silk? Ball-end to silk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 That sounds on the long side. The 760N-XL is only 37.75" and silk is close to the tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 They're working on making a version of these strings for the Kala U-Bass and slightly longer scale Gold Tone Microbass too! http://facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=599411316794481&id=127487373986880&set=a.143713709030913.30725.127487373986880 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just popped a set of these on my new Tony Franklin fretless. I've used the black nylon versions for ages, but the white ones are really nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 And now just put a lighter gauge set on my fretted P bass. Really nice, low tension, and great tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I really like them too I had them on a fretless which I sold (should have kept the strings!) and they have a lovely deep fundamental tone. I will get more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
