collapse expand iconDescription

Designed to produce a deep, warm tone with smooth feel, D'Addario ETB92S Tapewound Bass strings are wound using a flattened black nylon which is polished to an ultrasmooth finish. These long-lasting, well-balanced strings are expertly 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.

Medium gauge (.050"-.105").

    I have been using these for a while now, and can recommend them for both electric and acoustic bass guitar (not upright bass, different animal). Sound great and easy on both the fingers and the frets. Deep thumping sound good for blues and bluegrass.

    Best strings on a.4 string rotosound. Now the micro I've looked high and. low for flatwound tapewound strings. Finally my calluses get a break because of the smooth strings that are available here. I will be purchasing a few sets.

  • These are my go to strings

    I love tape wound strings .I've tried a few brands but these are silky smooth and quiet on the frets. They last for months and have a great deep sound and still have great tone .

    No, these are strings for short scale. That's 30". Please see --------------D'Addario ETB92 Nylon Tapewound Medium Gauge Bass Strings.

    I got a "Klira" Violin bass (hollow body, short scale) nearly looks like the Hofner Beatle but is lighter, it has Black Nylon strings on it and I'm looking for the next set -- are these strings usable for it?

    Yes. The ETB92S should be fine.
