alyctes Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Anyone tried this? Do the strings wear quickly? Any info gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asingardenof Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I believe there's a certain chap from Liverpool does this. Can't quite remember his name though. McCar-something. Here's the scruffy oik playing them on a rooftop of all places! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I think Macca uses felt picks rather than plastic, but he seems pretty good at it😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) I've been using GHS and D'Addario black tapewounds for nearly a decade with no issues. I don't use a mere guitar pick, though. Edited April 18, 2023 by jd56hawk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meterman Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 My original USA Fender Bullet bass had old black tapewounds on them when I bought it and I kept them on the whole time I owned it. Years. Usually played with a pick as well. Never noticed any change in wear or tone. I admit I am a total knuckle dragging caveman though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I have tapes on one of my Sunn Mustangs….. and playing it with a pick is one of the funkiest things ever. Awesome tone, and no issues with string degradation so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
