Ya, it's got a definite earthy sound to it with the tapewounds. It was alot crisper with the Roundwounds on it when I traded for it locally. But I was concerned long-term about damage to the fretboard and I was looking for that Ship of Fools/Sade type sound at the time.

did you ever try the halfwounds on it. I put them on my fretless jazz and really enjoyed the hybrid sound after they broke in properly.

I went from the Roundwounds that were on it when I traded for it to the Tapewounds. I hadn't used tapewounds before and wanted to give them a try.

Love their feel and sound so just kept them on it.
