Hmm... I finally listened to the soundclip above, and I have to say they sound darker than expected, especially considering the tone on the P bass was all the way up.

We'll see how they do on my fretless when they arrive, but I may stick with the D'Addario tapes if the LaBellas are too dark.

Can someone confirm that the medium-length 6-string set can properly fit an Ibanez SR506? In the past I've always bought regular long scale and always have to cut off a bit. I don't want to do that if not necessary for these, but don't want to find out too late that the A and D just don't fit! The bass is a 3+3 headstock.

Thanks in advance, can't wait to order these too!

And here's a shot on a maple board;

I was surprised to hear finger string squeak beginning at about 1/2 way and bits on a little after. :confused:

Yeah, I thought so too. I'm sure it's just a fluke. I noticed the tape starting to feel loose up by the silk on the G string, and it ended up unraveling under the silk somewhere.

I need to just call D'Addario and get a new one, but I've been lazy and figured I'd try the Labellas when they showed up.

Shoot me a PM and I will give you an address to email for faster response.

Got my set of light gauge white nylon tape wounds from BSO today, put 'em on my fretless J Bass, and they're even better than I'd hoped for! I don't think they're too dark at all. If anything, they're the most tonally balanced strings I've tried on that bass. With a little bit of pickup blend and EQ tweaking they can go from bright with good bite, to nice, warm and and round, or all the way to really wooly. Everything I tried sounded great to me. They're also incredibly smooth and have just the right tension for my tastes.

I just ordered a set Friday,and got the dreaded "not available in stock" email AFTER completing my order. I will give it a day or 2,but nothing ticks me off more than my credit card being charged when an item isn't available.

Not sure where you ordered yours from woodying but I see where my CC was billed last nite upon my order on BSO. Today I got an email telling me strings are not in stock. Hopeful they will be soon.

I don't see where other online stores are carrying these, so sorta stuck waiting for the white nylons now. :eyebrow:

Now if for some reason you get 5 string MED gauge but NOT LIGHT! I will take a set of regular, med gauge to have them sooner. I can work with either.

I have a set of reg, med gauge Chromes on the bass I plan to use these white's on; so I can go either way. :eek:

Thanks so much, slapinfunk-dude. :D
