White Nylon Bass Strings!? | LaBella 760T Tapewound 

I've always found it very arbitrary to be honest, without a clear reason to use one or the other way. My reasoning would be: since the tone is a passive control it can only take away something from your sound without adding anything. So at 0% is not doing anything, whereas at 100% the control is 100% effective. Anyway, you get the idea either way :D

Agreed. But we both figured it out. 😉

@@OliverTobyn I stumbled over the same thing. Since taking out the highs via the tone switch usually requires you to move the tone knob the same direction as the volume knob when you're going from 100% volume to 0% volume, usually people refer to "100% tone" when no frequencies are removed. "100% tone" then means that you hear all the available fequencies.

I tried not to use them on some riffs. I did record through a SansAmp VT Bass DI though. It was set on flat except for the amp emulation which probably added a little more brightness to them. But they are still bright nonetheless

I've been using a set of these on my 5 string for a good few months and they haven't corroded at all, although they still become gacked over time which dulls the sound a little.

Despite the high string gauge, I'd say not so different from a regular 45-105 set

Same here! They really do sound quite different

I've had them on since this video, and still kinda sound the same. Though I don't play them that often

I have a set arriving tomorrow that I plan to install to my fretless Pedulla Buzz. I presently have it strung with Low Tension Flats, but would like to hear a little more upper harmonics, but not as much string noise as I get from NPS round wounds. Hoping these will sit in the perfect middle ground between the flats and rounds.

@@prestachuck2867 if you would, Let me know what you find out about them.

@@prestachuck2867 I usually stick with the Fender flats, (Love the “creamy” kind of tone the heavy’s seem to have) but I just tried out some Diadarrio flats on a fretless, and I don’t like them, too “tinny”. I hate doing that, as we all know bass strings are way more spendy than guitar strings, so it greaves me to make a bad choice when it comes to trying something new in strings.

I didn't feel the need to do so, also because nylon is more elastic than steel so it adapts easily to the shape of the nut

Thanks for watching! They fit without adjusting or filing the nut. Probably because nylon is softer than steel and adapted to the shape of the nut

@@OliverTobyn Thanks man, that's certainly helpful! I currently have 50-105 black nylon labellas on my PBass and I love them! Was excited to try out their thicker version but wasn't sure about the nut. Now I'm getting a set! Will definitely try out the whites later on.

I really have no idea, but I'm inclined to think the second one. I'll keep you posted!

Have a set of 9 months old on a precision played on daily basis, they lose the brightness after a solid 150/200 hours of playing

It depends on what I'm playing. I do prefer to have them, but not too long (I've broken so many while playing Iron Maiden). But I really like the edge they give to the sound, almost like a pick
