Light gauge tapewounds

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone recommend a brand/source for light-gauge tapewounds? The only thing I can find locally are the Fenders. I'd like a set with a .100 or less E string for my ABG.

Thanks!

Do you want a < .100 E string for lower tension or is there some sort of diameter constraint at your bridge/nut?

The manufacturer recommended I don't go any higher than a .100, plus I've had some issues fitting anything bigger through the bridge. The pins fit too tighly for the wraps at the ball end to snug up into the bridge plate like they should.

Status Graphite's tapes have an E that's just a hair over at .105

select your currency => on-line shop => strings => Black Nylon

I have a set on a Rob Allen. They're about ½-way between Rotosound's
thud and LaBella's zing
