La Bella 760/750N Black Tapewounds

I’ve got a set and which I had on my Sandberg P bass for a while. I would advise going for the higher gauge as tapewounds are generally very very low tension compared to most other strings, so you’ll appreciate any stiffness you can claw back via the gauge of the set. It won’t take long to get used to the feel as long as you’re willing to slightly adjust your playing style and action. They sound amazing!

I agree with the above. I had the white nylons (50 105)on a bass for a while but took them off because of the low tension ,but I do prefer high tension so you might like them. The one thing with the higher guage is that you might have to widen the nut slots to accommodate them.

Yeah that was my worry as I was going to put it on my new P bass when it arrives. Might just put some normal La Bella flatwounds on if I don't have to mess with the nut.

Yeah I should have mentioned that you’ll likely have to widen your nut slots a bit! I just took my bass to a tech when I got my tapes fitted so all that hard work was done for me. Worth it though. I’ve now got flats on the bass (a lower gauge) and the wider nut slots haven’t negatively affected the bass at all. But I do have a Zero Fret so maybe that’s compensating a little? Who knows.
