What a sound!
I never tried taped strings on my J-Bass, that's like a revelation to me! the tone is amazing, sounding kinda like a double bass, you can still get some brightness in the sound, it's not completly muted in the trebles.
The biggest pros to this product is (IMHO) the feeling of the touch with your right hand is so sweeeeeet !
Even if the gauge seems big, the tension is like a drop D, really easy to play and soft.
I'm not gonna say that is the best strings for bass, but if you want to experiment, definetly try these ones one time! You'll be suprised!

Something else...
The Rotosound Black Nylon strings are flatwounded and covered in black nylon so it has a smooth and satin touch, plus an edgy look, very pleasant if you are not used to normal wounded e-bass strings which can blister your fingertips, this is probably a close emulation of the touch of a double bass.
The most interesting aspect is the sound, placed on a e-bass it delivers a smooth sound, with slightly less gain and sustain probably due to the nylon surface, but this helps in bringing the sound closer to an acoustic bass, I'm using (and recommend) them to play Latin music styles as it can remind of the legendary Ampeg Baby Bass.

Great jazz strings
Just bought my second set of these strings after 13 years! They don’t wear out because they start off dull, I put the new ones on and they sound almost identical. If anything the 13 year old strings sound better! Only reason I replaced them was the tape on the e string started unwinding. I use them on a fretless acoustic. They’re nice and smooth and have a great tone for jazz

Upright tone for electric bass
These strings must be the closest I'll ever get to an upright tone on my JB-40FL. Very deep, woody sound while still retaining some sustain.
Unlike the LaBella black nylon tapewounds with their plastic-like smooth feel, these strings almost feel like they're covered in very finely woven cloth. I hope this doesn't compromise longevity.
Unfortunately the A-string is more dark grey than black like the others.
Colour difference aside, I like the tone and the texture is probably the best for fretless 'fretboard' wear.

Never buy this one for your Hofner bass
I never had a short-scale bass before and just bought these along with my Hofner. Here I am, more than one month after buying trying to change the strings, and have discovered that it's impossible to fit these strings on a Hofner bass. I'm pretty sure that there are no engineers working there because this is one of the worst designs that I have seen. Be aware of this and you will be a happy man, not one that wasted 40 euros on a set of strings that won't fit :)

I tried these because I was looking for strings that would give me an up right bass sort of sound. I put them on a Harley Benton HB-60 WB which is medium scale semi accoustic (weird, wonderful and great, by the way) and it has worked out very well. I have used it on recordings with an acoustic band ( lots of twangy rhythm guitars etc) and it has survived the mixs very well. Decent definition and a solid bottom to the sound and, best of all, it doesn't sound like the only electric instrument on the tracks.

Great, if you’re looking for that vintage tone!
Black strings look great. These ones has a deep and boomy tone. Suits hollowbody basses and P-basses great. Please notice that you may need to expand the nut slots on your bass, to make the strings fit right!

A universal truth..
Nothing beats these fabulous flats, I've used them for over 40 years, and I'll use them till I'm older and greyer than I already am...I can't say anything more than that...
