La Bella Copper White Nylon Tapewounds:

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Just announced by La Bella, a new addition to their Tape Wound line!

February 21, 2014

Newburgh, NY – As the innovators of the Black and White Nylon Tape Wound bass set, La Bella introduces the Copper White Nylon Tape Wound Series. Unlike the classic White Nylon Tape Wounds, the new Copper White Nylon Tape Wound strings are made with a transparent nylon wrapped over copper underlays. The result is a warmer and more supple tone, while still allowing players to effortlessly glide from note to note.

The Copper White Nylon Series is extremely versatile and can be used for electric, fretless and acoustic basses. If you’re looking for a set of bass strings that growl like a beast, this warmer alternative is for you!



750C Copper White Nylon Tape Wound
Light, 4-String, .050, .065, .085, .105

760C Copper White Nylon Tape Wound
Standard, 4-String, .060, .070, .094, .115

All Copper White Nylon Tape Wound sets are also available in 5-String (.135 Low “B”) & 6-String (.043 High “C” & .135 Low “B”) models.

As with all La Bella bass sets, all Copper White Nylon Bass Series are Standard Long Scale, and available in Short, Medium and Extra Long scales.

Jason, do those come in double-ball end?

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

At the moment they only have Black Nylon in Double Ball End. I will see if they can do a one-off set!

Are you kidding me? I literally put Deep Talkin Flats on my Squier Precision yesterday (from BSO, of course)! Sigh.. These are on my list of strings to try now. Grr!

 

[Gorn]

Copper underlays? What does that mean exactly? Are they like daddario exp reds wrapped in white (clear) tape?

 

[smperry]

Saw a mention of these on Facebook.

Are these okay with magnetic pickups, or are they for piezo-only use?

Doesn't "warmer and more supple tone" pretty much describe their Black Nylon Tapes?

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Sound coming this weekend comparing all three

Yes use with magnetic pickups!

 

[Gorn]

I bet they look awesome too.

Interested in these, subscribing now.

I think a set of these may find their way onto my Ibanez AEB5E acoustic.

 

[Lil_McShizzle]

Bahhh I thougght these would bring an end to my string searching but then I noticed they don't come in beatle bass size :/

Could I get by wth using the .105's or would that put to much strain on the neck? Otherwise, any idea if they'll be coming out with a beatle bass set anytime soon?

 

[Root 5]

Nope, these are TapeWounds

Oh I know they're tapewounds. But I thought I'd ask anyway - thinkin' maybe you'd slip up and tell us about these new mystery flats!

Are the copper tapewounds roundwound underneath?

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Beatle coming later.

Yes round under windings

 

[Root 5]

Beatle coming later

Mustang sets, too??

 

[Gorn]

Ooooh...pretty...

 

[CM63]

Cewl! Lets talk flexability, Are they as easy (on old tendons) as the reg white nylons?

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Mustang sets, too??

Just order medium scale!
