Non heavy gauge nylon tapes?

Sign in to disble this ad
I had a set of LaBella tapes and I loved em except for the fact that it was a heavy gauge. I look on Rotosound's site and the E on theirs was like 135. Hot damn! Can't you get one with like a 95-100 E or a 40 or so G?

Suggestions? Thanks

Not that I'm aware of, but even very thick gauge tapewounds tend to have rather low tension when tuned to pitch.

GHS 3060s are .050 .070 .090 .105
I have them on a Lakland DJ and my action is pretty low, if that's what you're going for.

Thanks man, I'll have to check em out! Any others? I'm trying for a light gauge, like a 90 or 95 E. If none I think the GHS might work.
