Not only that, each and every string is broken in, matured and aged by TalkBassists for a minimum of two years.
TalkBass Red Label bass strings are roundwounds crackling with spice and bursting with vibrant, smoky tones. They're a blend that combines brightness and more agressive notes heard at the Whisky out West, creating an extraordinary tone. TalkBass Red Label has hints of cinnamon and pepper, fruity sweetness, and a mellow bed of vanilla, before the TalkBass signature of a long, lingering, smoky finish.
TalkBass Black Label bass strings are rich, complex and incredibly well-balanced groundwounds, full of dark sounds, sweet vanilla and signature smokiness.Blended exclusively from strings matured for at least 12 years, they bring together tones from the four corners of Rock and Roll to create an experience that is complex, deep and rewarding. TalkBass Black Label strings roll decadently over the tones, releasing intense sweet vanillas that give way to orange zest and aromas of spice and raisins. The finish is unbelievably smooth and layered with rich smokey, punchy malt.
TalkBass Double Black bass strings are the Intense Tapewound Blend - powerful, full-bodied and smoky. The heavier influence of the deepest and warmest tones of Rockabilly and early Rock and Roll are immediately apparent, with swirls of soft smoke over rich raisins and fruits - apples, pears and citrus. These soften into sweet vanillas and spice, before developing into a warming finish of oak bass bodies and lingering smokiness.
The unique tone of TalkBass Green Label bass strings is a delicate blend of copper-plated steel, pure nickel, polymer coated and stainless steel of four key signature styles, represented by Sklar, Entwistle, Bruce and Lee. The individual characteristics of these mature aged strings are perfectly balanced to bring together intense tones of crisp cut grass, fresh fruit, wood smoke, pepper, deep vanilla, and sandalwood. They creates a punchy yet warm depth of character that just isn’t possible to achieve with one type of strings alone.
TalkBass Gold Label Reserve taperwound bass strings are known for their creamy smoothness. They open with a luxurious burst of delicate nectar and gentle smokiness that develops into sweet fruits and deeper, velvety, honeyed tones before giving way to sublime, lingering whispers of smoke and oakiness in the finish.
TalkBass Platinum Label bass strings with a secret blend of big, classic TalkBass tones with intriguing contemporary notes of citrus and fragrant almonds. Initially sweet with a warm vanilla undercurrent and a suggestion of punchy tangerines, they move smoothly over the hearing palate into a nutty, malty dryness before a long finish brings elegant suggestions of soft charcoal smokiness and a beautifully bright citrus zest.
TalkBass Blues Label bass strings are incomparably rich and smoky flats, with velvety smooth breaking waves of powerful flavor. Created from hand-selected steel cables of some of the rarest and most exceptional flattened steel, there is no sensory experience quite like TalkBass Blues Label. Hazelnuts, honey, sherry and oranges tumble in first, before releasing hidden secrets like ginger, kumquats, sandalwood and dark chocolate. A rich honey mellow sweetness emerges, accompanied by hints of pepper and dried fruits, before an impossibly long, lingering, smooth finish of perfectly balanced, deep, dark, smokey tones.
And have some Johnnie Walker while you're at it.
