Black Strings?

[Cremmdella]

I'm looking for some black stings for my Jackson C20. It is all black with black hardware and black stings would look killer on it. I know Black Diamond has them. Are they good? Just looking for different options. Thanks!

DR Black Beauties and Fender Tapewounds.

I've got some black beaties on my J and I LOVE the feel of them. Now that I've tried them I doubt I will be able to go back to non-coated strings. One tip though, they do sound new for longer than your average roundwound but not that much longer. I would say mine lost their zing after about 2 weeks.

Just wondering, does the coating make them feel smoother than non-coated rounds?

And does the coating reduce finger noise when sliding around?

^ Yes to both.

I've got a few pairs of those DR color coated strings, and they are great,

I've got black Beauties on my Black Jazz bass looks awesome on a maple board.

That's good to know. I think I'll try some. I have a Geddy with a black PG....some black strings may look cool on it.
Anyone have a black and maple bass with black DR's on it? I'd like to see a pic.
