Suitable for low tension strings, on a bass that always stays tuned.
This nylon tailgut is quite a bit more flexible than a steel cable, and it takes a while before it stops stretching. In practice that means that after tuning-up, you'll keep tuning for maybe up to a week, but after that it stops stretching & the bass stays in tune.
Negatives:
- Continues stretching for maybe a week
Positives:
+ stretching stops
+ impervious to humidity changes (like steel cable, unlike real gut)
+ the larger diameter prevents damage to a soft end-nut
+ Probably stronger than real gut. I don't know the maximum pull, but with extra nuts it handles 110kg total pull well.

Gewa Tailgut
My double bass easily got out of tune when using the Gewa tailgut and after a few weeks I went back to using a metal wire again.
