Coloured Strings. Yay or Nay?

good for a gig the kindergarden or teaching firstclass students playing bass; Ok everyone, now we play the third note on the green string

 

yes, nickel coloured !

 

Doesn't DR make a set like that for the Rocksmith game?

I think Black beauties (or tapes) look sweet over a maple fretboard. Green neons can be quite eye-catching over a black bass with a dark fretboard.

 

I play nickel rounds but want to try black tape wounds as I like the look (as well as the demos I've heard).

 

Nay.

 

I have to agree here. I do have a black/maple bass with black tape wounds and it's borderline IMO.

 

I prefer to color coordinate my bass with my shoes.

 

In the right setting, red can be kind of nice....

 

And I color coordinate my bass with my codpiece.

 

As long as they sound good....Whatever floats your boat, LOL!

 

Nay.

 

It all depends on the bass if you use an original vintage style bass(Fender, Hofner, Gibson)It's probably a nay, If you use Musicman, Yamaha, Status It's probably a yay.

 

I happen to like them. I put red Aurora string on my bass, as they suit the color scheme. Not only does it look great, in my opinion,
but I am a big fan of Aurora strings now, colored or otherwise (they are also offered in oh-so-bland nickel color )

 

I wouldn't.

But that's just me.

 

I respect everyone's aesthetic - I am an old school sixties fender guy myself -- but all the 'thumbs-downs' perhap obscure the fact that
this would likely garner more audience love at a live gig than a vintage relic or coffee table custom job ever could hope to inspire.

 

i tried them before, they look cool but i didnt like the sound. i like brite sounding
strings and the coating seemed to take some of that away. so, i say nay also.

 

I had a set of Black Beauties come with a bass I bought used. I didn't mind the color so much, but I couldn't handle the way they felt and took them off quickly.

 

A little too flashy for my tastes.

 

If they made them in a string that I actually like I'd probably use them in black.
