Tapewounds sound a little TOO mellow to my ears.
Bought Squire Jazz Bass Fretless with tapes some time ago. Thought that something weird about my childhood dream. But with big relief understood that it was just strings. Changed them for flats and now it sounds great!
I’ve had tapewounds on a bass once. I hated how they felt. Switched to flats and have never looked back.
what bass is this?
Both are fantastic for fretless bass.
I prefer the flats in this "situation ".
Flatwounds… without a doubt.
The tapes sounds like an upright!
Flat for sure! Less buzzing and warmer sound to me!
Play what you want though bro!
flat
Tape wounds 100%
Flat wound for surr
Flat wounds for me.
Sounds like the tape wounds are more transparent to the pick-ups. Or to put it another way, the flat wounds sound like they make the pick-ups put out more power to the amp. So that makes me wonder what the tape wounds would sound like on an acoustic bass/instroment.
Day 1 of asking for you to play a 12 string bahs
round wounds sing and growl the best 😉
Depends on the sound you are looking for cause I say it up to the player
The first one was louder
Flat, 100%. It had much more body. ????????
I recently bought a cheap fretless bass with tapewound strings and it sounds great.
Tapewounds are so… Reggae-lish
Tapes do not properly ground the player. When the guy at the board runs high gain you may get that old poor ground buzz. I went to Brite Flats for that very reason. Those tapes sounded and felt so good, though.
sledgehammer lol
Flats all the way
ALL FLATS
Gosh those Flats sound so crispy! ????
I'm going to say tapewounds but as everyone knows its moot as we bass player never buy strings so it's whatever's on the behs when we buy it ????
Tapewound
Flat
Flats all day of course
I like the volume of the flat wounds but I like the sound of the tape wounds.
Flats
I like the tape wound actually..it gives me a feeling of a good cartoon background
The flats definitely sound the best
In the room/not in the room
