Labella Gold White Tapes

Nothing else.....

 

LaBella Black Tape
* I have a set of D'Addario's to try, but they aren't installed yet.

 

La Bella Black (750N and 760N) are the only ones I've tried. But boy do I love 'em!

I also plan to try the D'Addario's on a future bass.

 

LaBella 760N'x on two ABG's and a '67 P. All fretless.
I picked up three sets from Carvin back when they were $18.00/set. With two unopened sets, and the play life of these strings, I'm string secure for the rest of my days.

 

Well so far I've only tried two-

D'Addario Tapes- I currently have a 2-year-old set on my Ibanez acoustic.
La Bella Copper Whites- I currently have these on my Schecter and LOVE them.

I just ordered a set of La Bella Game of Death Gold nylons for my Squier 5er. I may end up putting La Bella Black nylons on my acoustic. Maybe someday.

 

Well.....Right now I have a set of Fender tapes on my Carvin fretless ABG, and a set of GHS (RIP) tapes on my fretless 5 string Carvin Bolt Bass. I guess they are my favorites right now. If I decide to put tapes on any others I would try the D'Addarios just to give them a go.

 

Rotosound Trubass 88s on my Martin ABG
LaBella blacks on my custom Portuguese ABG

the aim is to emulate the sound of a UB as closely as possible

 

750C LaBella Copper White.

Period.

 

GHS tapes on all my fretless basses. I use them for Praise & Worship, in a blues trio, and in a rock project. No idea what to do when/if they ever need replacing...I love them!

 

Labella definitely has been the best tapes I've tried to date. I haven't tried them all though.

 

D'Addarios; I've used them on guitars and bass long ago... and always liked them. Since I'm getting back to playing bass as well and going to the 5 string .... very interested in this thread and what folks are using on their 5 strings. Have looked at the La Bella , and felt they would be a good one to go to, or the D'Addarios.

What is it about what you like, that you like about them ?

 

Fender 9120 Nylon Tapewound, the only ones I have tried.
They feel ok on my acoustic. No complains so far, but haven't tried any other though.

So far Ive only used the D'Addario and I love them .

 

Labella Black tapes
GHS black tapes.

 

Labella 760N sound so good that my search ended right there, I don't need a second choice.

(Watch, now they'll discontinue them and I'll be SOL, running back to this thread to frantically find an alternative.)
