D’Addario have announced their new Nylon Tapewound Bass Strings, along with Flatwound Mandolin Strings and Stainless Steel Banjo Strings, which they say have have a long-lasting life.
The Nylon Tapewound Bass Strings are designed to produce a deep, warm tone while providing a smooth, comfortable feel. D’Addario Tapewound Bass strings are wound using a flattened black nylon which is polished to an ultra-smooth finish.
These long-lasting, well-balanced strings are engineered to provide optimal tension and are gauged to fit properly on standard bass saddles and nuts.
Tapewounds may be used on fretted or fretless basses and are designed to deliver a vintage tone ranging from the “thump” of an upright bass to the focused depth of traditional flatwound strings.
“We are very pleased with the overall outcome of the new Nylon Tapewound Bass, Flatwound Mandolin, and Stainless Steel Banjo string sets,” says D’Addario Product Management Manager, Brian Vance. “These sets broaden the versatility and tones that players currently strive for across the board.”
The Nylon Tapewound Bass Strings will retail for $62.99; Flatwound Mandolin Strings will retail for $29.99, and Stainless Steel Banjo Strings will retail for $6.99. All of these new D’Addario string sets are available now.
