New D'Addario Tapewounds

[stonedmotus]

I wish DD had tensions listed for all strings.
But, from what is posted:
- They are less tension than their flatwound set
- They are less tension than their nickel roundwound set

Hmmm.

the tapewounds on the ampeg were very old, possibly 70's, but they were so tight. i'll try a new set (ghs most likely) on my short scale & see how they feel.

Which tapewounds are low tension? All the ones I've tried felt like one of those cheap toy guitars that can barely produce a note.

I put a set of them on my P bass and love them:

Read my previous post. If the numbers at the DD site are correct,
these tapes are Lower tension than their regular set of nickel rounds.

how do the daddario nylons standard scale sound with slapping and popping? would slap/pop damage the nylon in any way? Just a thought.

No idea. Give em a try.
They're great strings.

I've heard of guys slapping other tapes...
