New to tape wounds

I bought these to go on an Ibanez acoustic bass. I'm impressed with these strings. I didn't like the the original round wound strings that came on it. They were too noisy and I didn't care for the rough texture on my fingers.

Next I tried flat wound strings. The finger feel was great, but the tone was a little too "thumpy" and dull, and there was a volume difference between each string.

These Fender tape wounds are the solution I was looking for. Bright tone without being harsh, smooth finger feel, and an even volume and tone balance between strings. I'm going to try a set on my electric bass next.

Great, but know what they are!

I think these are great, but you should be clear on what they are. I thought they were flat nylon tapewound, like the nylon LaBellas. What they are instead is roundwound strings, with a thin nylon coating. So they actually sound more like roundwounds than flatwounds. A little less trebley, but on a scale of brightness, with flatwounds being 1 and roundwounds being 10, these are like a 7.

The big difference with these strings is that they cut out most of the fret buzz and fretting hand noise, much more than they cut treble. So if fret noise bothers you, but you want to keep most of the roundwound tone, these could be ideal. They are also much easier on the fingers, and a little smoother for picking.

Personally, I ended up not using them on my regular basses, because I either want the full roundwound sound, or I want the full flatwound sound. But they found a good use on my fretless. The fingerboard on my fretless scrapes easily. These strings let me keep a pretty much roundwound sound on the fretless, without chewing up the fingerboard. (I think these strings are even easier on the fingerboard than traditional flatwounds.)

Most excellent!

I got these with some reservation as I had used other such strings of other brands. None seemed to have a decent balance of upper & lower tone. These surprised me big time. Minor preamp tone adjustments did the job with these smooth sounding babies. I highly recommend these for a great thick, smooth sound.
PS: These are very easy on the fingers!

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
