I'm pretty sure the tapes that are on the '15 are Rotos. I don't remember exactly now, and of course I never write anything down. They were on the Flamingo for a bit and sounded great on it, too. I suspect they are the last strings I'll ever put on the '15, since they don't wear out. The '15 has such powerful magnets in its pickups that tapes can get pretty aggressive on that bass, and then mellow out to Motown thump when you want that sound. They won't ever give you the kind of sound metal guys like, but I don't play that way. At least not for now. Never say never. But I wouldn't use that bass for metal anyway, since it is strung with tapes and probably always will be from now on.
The strings on each bass came about after trying all kinds of things, some more than once because I kinda forget.
Must be!
