6stringbassist Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Are there such things ? Does anyone do a coated set or a wrapped set. I'd like a set in black, they'd look prettly cool on my NS CR4M. They'd probably also sound pretty good I'd have thought, nice and mellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythesea Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Don't know anything about them but Google found [url="http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1627-LABELLA_7710_BLACK_NYLON_TAPE_WOUND_STRING_SET.html"]these[/url]. I believe there are people here who have bought from Bob Gollihur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit pricey at Contrabass Shoppe though. Thomann is cheaper and with the pound/euro rate improving might be a choice. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/la_bella_7710_black_nylon.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/la_bella_7710_black_nylon.htm[/url] I like the sound of putting them on a CR4M. I'd like to put proper DB strings on mine so if you buy a set let us know how they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just read the reviews on TB. Not sure they would suit a CR4M sound wise. These basses are bright at the best of times but adding a bright sounding string? Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
