I just tried them. Medium Scale light.
Disregarding the thinner thickness of the Warwicks, the nylon cover looks and feels identical to that of the Fender balck tapes (9150 or so).
An now a quick review:
The E string is dead. Really dead. I never saw such a dead string.... Initially it just made "plopp". Well i gave them a day and temporarily tuned them one semitone up (the bass is a short to medium scale fanned fret instrument with a scale of 30"-31". That improved the situation - at least the A string which initally was also dead came more or less up to life.
The strings are advertized for ABG and for electric basses. On the electric they give a warm and rich sound - at least the strings that work. Actually the G and D string sound great. Unfortunately the output varies a lot between the strings: G is ok, D is about 3dB less output and A is another 3 dB less output compared to D. And E as i already said is dead.
If You check the Thomann site for these strings, i am not alone with these problems. There seems to be at least a full charge coming with dead E strings.
As the reason for the general imbalance of the 3 intact strings i assume increasingly thick layers of bronce winding.
So my conclusion: these strings theoretically have the potential of being really great and comptitive to the LaBella White tapes. Both both quality and the seemingly "half-baked" construction make the uninteresting on electric basses (i cannot speak for ABGs).
A sinde not: i have a set of LaBella copper whites on one bass and an old set of Gold Whites in the drawer. A close look to these reveals some fine winding steel or nickel wire between the bronce wire. I'd guess that this is mandatory for an electrically well balanced tone.
