Nice silky strings
I am a Thomastik JF-344 fan, but wanted to try something else for my fretted Bass. These strings have low tension so very comfortable to play and the sound is very warm (deep) indeed. I was surprised by the overall results on this bass and will keep those going forward. Compared to steel strings this bass has now a completely different character. As the sound is darker en dryer I did also some recording tests and they succeeded in this situation as well. I did not have to change the setup of the bass due to the low tension but can imagine that this could happen for others. The low E and A are at the ball end thicker than standard steel strings so one has to push harder to get them properly set in the bridge. All in all I love them.

Black Magic Bass
These strings play so smooth and deep and still they are very articulate, and as a bonus they look so good on my bass with all black hardware! My new favorites, coming from TI flats...

My first tapewounds
The quality of the strings is excellent.
I had no problems installing them and tuning them.
I had to raise the action from the bridge and create a bow to the neck because of the "fretting" rattling noise
I play fretless with flats so I wanted to try their characteristic sound.
I am not impressed from the sound, actually I don't like it, too thin and plastic for me.
Going back to my flats.
I'll try them to my acustic bass as well and I will post more details

Maybe good but not for me
Well what can I say, based on the videos I was expecting more of a double bass sound out of those, but they only sound weak and muffled to me. But then again, I m not at all experienced with this kind of tapewound strings.

Awesome but expensive
I love those strings, the best thing about them is their feel on the fingers, i never had bruses or any problems with hurting fingers because they feel like silk. awesome, also the sound is awesome !
cons:
price is ridiculous

Smooth but surprisingly bright
All the benefits of smooth nylon wraps but with great crisp tone.

great strings for special apllications
put them on my ibanez semi-acoustic shortscale bass. the strings are very soft, rubbery to the touch and low tension.
i had to either raise the action a lot or play with a much softer touch because those strings flex a lot and ratlled on the fretboard when played harder...
all in all great sound with a lot of top end in the first days. great strings for fretless, acoustic or semi acoustic instruments ... they can give a rubbery vintage and kind of acoustic sound to your instrument!!

Fretless bass sounds made warm
The La Bella 750N Black Nylon L strings sounds are so warm & smooth, which produces much better tones and feels than the normal steel strings.

Good quality
This is a good quality string, but I found it too dark compared to other nylon wound strings. I also found the winding of the nylon wasn't as tight as in other brands (some metal was visible between the nylon)
