Flatwound vs Tapewound Strings Demo (DR/LaBella Black Nylon) 

Absolutely fantastic. Very helpful and a joy to hear you play. Thanks

Damn....NICE playing man...Also,a great comparison.

I love the tapewound sound. Great demo!

Beautiful jazz solo with both strings.

Great video! On the fence about purchasing one of these 2 strings :DD

Thanks for the great tips

This was tight. Thanks

Very nice, looking into trying black nylons

Great demo man, thanks! Also got the same fretless, paid around 250 quid for it and the quality is craaaazy good haha, glad to see another person using it

Great playing

That's a nice looking bass you got.

Muy bueno el walking en el fast swing, me gusta más con las flat. ¿Tienes algo grabado con el fretless?

Can I ask what kind of hard shell case you are using for your Squier VM Fretless Jazz? I like it, looks ABS molded, similar to the case for my tenor sax. I'm in the market for a case for my very first bass!

Thank you!

Brilliant - thanks! Are the tapewounds more 'comfortable' under your fingers than conventional flatwounds?

What's up with that shot of the headstock of your guitar sitting in the case? lol Love your walking, swing feel. The funk needs a lil work though.

Considering the diameter (gauge) of tape-wounds, did you have to file the nut cavities? Great video by the way. Love the sound of Tapes.

Great demo, but how's the tension on the tapewounds.

Blues for Alice?

La Bella! 100%, smoothest string I've ever felt, but not "slimy" like Elixirs. Just buttery. Never noticed a huge difference in guitar strings, I use whatever on guitar, but man there is a huge difference on bass. Way more girth to feel. DR string coatings flake apart too (don't take it from me, google it). Seriously, it sounds dumb, but going from cheap round steels to the black flats made me like bass enough to focus on it as my primary instrument. Used to think bass was supposed to hurt your fingers til I tried flats!

Sounds good but the tape wounds don't cut through as well. I have read this on forums. Thanks for the upload.

Great! The tapewounds are the "secret" behind many archtop acoustic electric basses, including marcustico and rob allen. I put labella tapewound on my ibanez srh500f and voila, there was the sound folks are paying thousands to get! Where the rubber meets the road. On my 65 Precision I prefer the Labella med ga steel flats and bridge mute to get that Monk Montgomery sound.

Dig yr playing!

Drums are too loud you can't hear the bass

hello, do you have the stock pickups on the bass?

TURN DOWN THE DRUMS !!!!!
