Fender 9120M Nylon Tapewound Bass Guitar Strings - .058-.110 Medium Reviews

They meet my needs. Service was great as always. Thanks Cody.

These strings will make you love your bass again.
Easy on fingers, great smooth sound. Will recommend these
for any Bass Guitar.

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.

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.)

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!

These strings are perfect for me! I love the way they look on my bass, and they're incredibly easy to play on. They sound 100% perfect, and I plan on using these again in the future!

I used these kind of strings over 45 years ago and liked them. Jump forward to now and I still love them but they are not for everybody. I like the feel and the warm tone for what I do.

New customer here.
I love the Fender tapewound nylon strings on my bass.
The team went out of their way to make sure I got what I needed, and the gentlemen, were actually gentle men.
I'm coming back.

Best strings I've ever put on my 1976 Fender Jazz Bass, easy on the fingers, great tones and I just love these strings and everything Fender!

I HAVE BEEN USING THESE STRINGS FOR 5YEARS ON MY 1973 P BASS , i WILL NOT USE ANYTHING BUT THEM, GOOD TONE, THEY SOUND GOOD THR MY AMP. YOU CANNOT GOOD WRONG ON THE PRICE

I went thru 20 years of trying out one or another set of strings on my old maple-neck/natural-body p-bass. None were any better than 'pretty good'. Then I played a friend's old recording Gibson with these black nylon strings. Seemed to have a nice feel, so I tried some on the p-bass. Wow: after a little fine-tuning setup it was like another instrument! The soft strings and thin neck combine to give a very supple feel that fits well with my 4 finger picking style. They have a nice round sound (good for me but some might like more bite). The last set has been going great for 4 years (~3 hr/week playing) but is finally showing some age.

Not only do they sound & play great, they make my bass look awesome!

So fair I'm impressed with he sound I'm getting with these sting. I've changed to all tape wound string on my Upright Bass's and my other Bass
Guitar.

Best tape wound strings one can purchase. Have tried them all. Great sound and comfortable on the fingertips. If playing with a pick they want last long. Had to wait for months until they were in stock. Worth the wait. This is the second set I have used on my bass. These are my go to strings now.

After trying 5 different types (1 flat taped heavy gauge, 1 steel round wounds, 2 types of medium tape round wounds, and 1 light round with polymer coating ) types/brands of strings these are meeting my requirements. Low deep mellow sound with good punch. Play very well and smooth to the fingers. They have locked in on holding tune within the first hour of playing. Rating a 4 as it is too soon to see if they will hold up in the long run.

They are round wound strings with a black tape coating, some what quieter than regular round strings,but not what I would buy again. My original intention was for flat wound strings with a tape wound coating but what I got was what you sent me. Someone didn't read the label on the box correctly, before shipping and I ended up using them. I'm sure it won't happen again.
