This video compares and contrasts Round Wound, Flat Wound, and Rubber (technically polyurethane) strings for the Kala U-Bass. First is a demo of all three strings back to back, then I compare and contrast them based on: string tension, slide-ability, tone, string noise, price difference, and I provide some alternative strings.
