tape wound

    Happened to try D'Addario tapewounds... Love the feel, but don't love the sound. What to try next?

    I tried a set of D'Addario Tapewounds that came on my Fender MIJ Hybrid II Jazz Bass V which I received from the classifieds a few days ago. They are way different than tapewounds which I played years ago which were plasticy and I didn't like. I don't love the sound of these D'Addarios, but...

    La Bella White vs Copper-White vs Gold-White?

    HI Ive been playing/enjoying the Gold-White on my ABG. I was surprised how much their 'feel' grew on me. (im not a tape wound guy) I've had both LaB Black and Gold-Whit on this bass. Does anyone have experience with all three of the "white flavors" to give relative comparisons? (@iiipopes ?)...

    Does this sound reasonable?...

    So, I LOVE tapewounds on two particular basses I own that were overly aggressive and the tapes (Labella Copper White) tamed them in the best possible way. I love the feel as well as the sound. The catch is that because you're not making contact with the strings, there is a grounding issue and...

    DGCF tuning and string gauge on a 34" scale bass

    Hi everyone! I recently changed my tuning from EADG to DGCF on my Yamaha BB1200s (34¨scale). The problem is that I´m using light gauge strings (40-100 DR Hi Beams (round wounds)), and now my bass lacks ¨punch¨. I would like to have the loose feel of the down-tuned light gauge strings to some...

    Sticky Tape Wounds, what Brands

    I have GHS 3060 M Black Nylon tapes on my acoustic. I've seen other say they find tapes sticky, and other baffled that tapes would be sticky, by their experience. For me the sticky is not so much the feel, but the string noise the strings make when I pull off, particularly if it's off at an...

    Heavy gauge back to lighter gauge for practice (?)

    I briefly put on (and intend to keep handy) a set of Fender tapewounds on my P bass with a gauge of 58-110. Granted, tapes are not as stiff as flats, but moving back down to a 40-100 set of Rotos rounds, it feels almost effortless playing fast runs and moving around the frets. Does anyone use a...

    NSD: D'Addario tapes. Woo.

    Friend of mine is showing me the tapewounds he put on his bass. It's about 1981-2 and your narrator is a dyed-in-the-wool Rotosound player. How strange, yet interesting, methinks. And back to my Rotos, hey. Realign the timeline to this moment. First NBD in 39 years, it's a Chowny CHB-1...

    I have several basses and all of them have D'addario tape wounds on them. I have never tried any other brand of tape wounds.
