La Bella 760N-S Black Nylon Tape Bass Strings, Standard 60-115, Short Scale

The La Bella 760N-S black nylon tape wound bass strings are a 4-string standard gauge set (60-115) for short scale basses. Short scale basses are already known for their warm, fat tone, and adding black nylon tape wound strings takes that character to the extreme. You get an incredibly deep, pillowy bass sound with almost no high-frequency content, which is exactly what certain musical situations call for.

The smooth black nylon surface makes these strings feel amazing under the fingers, with zero string noise and a silky, fast playing experience. Short scale tape wounds are a favorite for Motown, reggae, and vintage soul sounds, where the bass needs to be a warm, solid foundation without any grind or bite. Fretless short scale basses sound particularly beautiful with these strings. Handcrafted in New York, the 760N-S is a specialty set for players who know that sometimes the warmest tone wins.
