Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know who makes the lowest tension black nylon tapewound strings? I'm used to DR Hi-Beams which have a round core and a really nice low tension which I like a lot. I've got La Bella tapewound strings on my fretless right now, and I love them. But on my fretted, they're a little higher tension than I would like.
I know the Status Graphite strings have a lower gauge than most nylon tapewounds, so I'll probably get a set of those pretty soon. But other than that, which ones do you feel have the lowest tension?

I'm a real light-gauge low-tension fan and very much considering tapewounds for the fretless I'm building.
Hope a lot comes up! |

Oh, that's great! Many thanks ahead for the info.
Hm, Status-Graphite does have quite normal gauges for tapewounds, very interesting. And not too expensive for me, being a UK manufacturer!
I see you already have LaBella tapewounds on your fretless, may I ask if the mwah is any good? |

Anxious to hear about the Status strings. If they're any good compared to those LaBella's I'm definitely going to try a set. Those thin gauges will save me from having to make another nut if for any reason they won't be my cup of tea!
Again, many thanks ahead! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
