String 911

[Gil Belisle]

Good day,
I put some Labelle nylonwounds on my LTD and the tone is awesome, but they're sliding off the fretboard and though yes, better techniques would correct this, I never have any problems with any other strings and I'm in a jam:
They came in on a Friday, gig is Sunday and I need them today so basically I'm gonna have to use Guitar Center strings.
Any suggestions to get even close to that tone would be greatly appreciated.

Only tapewounds sound like tapewounds. If you're being paid to play the bass tomorrow then you should get any strings you can play.

You're not wrong about the sound for sure... guess I'll put the D'ADDARIOs back on. Thank you.

If you got the 50-105 LaBella tapes, they're EXTREMELY flexible, which is probably why they're bending off the fretboard for you (along with maybe some lower friction between the string and your frets, I dunno??). If so, my guess is that this problem would be resolved with a 60-115 set as long they fit in your nut slots.
